Use lintian-info --tags message to get infos
about the warnnings.
Ex: lintian-info --tags invalid-short-name-in-dep5-copyright
Let's see if I can help a little more.
If you put your name on debian/control these
are fixed. You will sign the package, so a gpg
key is needed.

W: bcloud source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
W: bcloud source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 3.8.2-1
It is necessary to put the text of the license in the
debian/copyright.
W: bcloud source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gplv3 (paragraph at line 5)
Use GPL-3. Check if is GPL-3+ (any later version at the end
of first paragraph)
W: bcloud source: invalid-short-name-in-dep5-copyright gplv3 (paragraph at line 5)
It seems is a new package. You should open a ITP bug
'intent to package'. And put the number you receive
by email in debian/changelog.
W: bcloud: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
W: bcloud: duplicate-changelog-files usr/share/doc/bcloud/HISTORY.gz usr/share/doc/bcloud/changelog.gz
debian/copyright take care of this. The file is not
needed.
W: bcloud: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/bcloud/LICENSE.gz
Write a manpage for bcloud-gui. txt2man can help.
W: bcloud: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/bcloud-gui
Have fun.
