I don't intend to sponsor this but here are some comments:
It looks like upstream is using the unrar command-line utility. The
unrar that supports recent RAR files is non-free and the FLOSS version
of that only supports old RAR files. Please ask upstream to switch to
the unar (no this is not a typo) command-line utility instead, which
is both FLOSS and supports recent RAR files. I would say this package
should not enter Debian without that, otherwise it will encourage
users to use non-free software.
None of the comments in debian/rules are needed.
You have chosen a different license for debian/* than what the
upstream code uses. I suggest using the same license as upstream.
