- debian/control: "Suggests:" is spelled with two "s"-es, not one
- debian/control: you use --buildsystem=pybuild in debian/rules, but
you don't declare a build-dep on dh-python

Both the above issues should cause your package to FTBFS (assuming you
actually tested your package by building it with
pbuilder/sbuild/etc.).
