Hi!
Looks almost good, I found just three minor issues.  None of them is a
show-stopper, but let's have the package in a better shape from the start.

debian/changelog:
* why the Debian revision is -2 rather than -1?  That's appropriate only of
  there's a -1 in the changelog.  And that would make sense only if the
  packaging had a meaningful history in the wild (like, import from a
  derivative or a public repository).

debian/control:
* please say what the program is for (ie, the first and last paragraphs)
  rather than describing its use and output.  That's what the man page
  and/or README are for.

debian/rules:
* please move flags exports before including dpkg/default.mk.  The order
  matters -- your version doesn't use hardening.

Also, I wonder if there's a better place for the URL than
/usr/share/doc/README.  Other stuff in that file are build instructions
which are irrelevant for packaged software.

BTW, ♥ the "circulos meos" reference.


Meow!
