I’ve had a very brief look. Two notes:

1) The Git repo Vcs-* points to contains only the upstream code, and
is hosted at GitHub. You probably want to host it at Salsa, not
GitHub, and the repo needs to have a branch with the Debian packaging.

2) You licensed the packaging as GPL-2+ while the upstream is ISC.
While this is a valid combination, it would make upstreaming potential
changes harder, so please consider switching to ISC or *at least*
"GPL-2 or ISC".
