I had a check of the packaging and think it is fine so far.  However, I
have a question about your way you are creating the source tarball.  It
seems the debian/repack script is basically removing files from the
original download.  Since some time this can be done via Files-Excluded
in debian/copyright (see man uscan).  I personally (well, I'm biased
since I invented this method ;-)) consider this way more transparent
than separate scripts and the result is more simple packaging.  Do you
have better reasons than "I was just not aware about this option" to
not choose this way?

BTW, I consider d/changelog as way to long.  For a new package simply

   * Initial release (Closes: #777132).

is sufficient and the prefered form by ftpmaster.  If you have no good
reasons to mention all the details please remove them.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
