note that if you dont add -I grep should not be needed. -I will help

You should use your name as the maintainer field in debian/control.

Your debian/copyright file almost fits the definitions to be machine
readable, so better make some last changes to fix it completely. See
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0

Fist of all, I would advise using the same license for packaging as
the package itself.
Better link to the exact license: /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3
Note that in your text you also write a wrong path (/etc instead of /usr)

This is something to report upstream: you probably don't want your
program to exit if something goes wrong in a library.

Read about generating symbols: https://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles

You shouldn't override informational lintian tags. Just remove all
these overrides.
