Hi Oliver,
Thanks for your interested in making Debian grow!
For a start, you failed to fill correctly the RFS template..
Starting right from the subject.

Just by looking at that page you can see that the package is a mess.
Please try to get the package as lintian clean as possible.
And it's not only lintian, the fact that this is marked as a native
package is particolarly worrisome.

As per DevRef [0] if this is a new package you should have already
opened an ITP [1][2] and closed it in the changelog. Also, being a new
package the changelog should only contain one entry.
There is no way somebody will look at that package when automated tools
are already able to tell you there is so many wrong things, please come
back once lintian is more happy and the package is worth looking.
