To be a little more specific, the initial release should contain a single entry with the text:
* Initial release (closes: ####).
As referenced in Debian Developer’s Reference 5.1.
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#new-packages
Currently you have the following:

* Debian package has been separated from the upstream sources.
* Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 format.
* Debian package release. (Closes: #1055902)
