Here what I found interesting:

 * Lintian complains about "font-in-non-font-package" and
   "font-outside-font-dir". Why do you ship .ttf font in examples
   directory?

 * Policy is slightly outdated.

 * In debian rules, instead of "cat PKG-INFO | sed ..." you can use
   $DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM. See /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk. By the way,
   it is useless-use-of-cat.

 * You can use B-D: debhelper-compat (= 11). Why not 12, by the way?
