this url is 404 (but the one mentioned in the Vcs-Git is fine).
quick review:
* please bump std-ver (of course, do all the changes required to catch
up with the last policy version) (related: are you subscribed to
debian-devel-annount@lists.debian.org? You probably should.)
* you are using debhelper 10, but still mentioning dh-autoreconf
* please stop using versioned -dev package, they are a PITA requiring
sourceful uploads at every transition for no gain. Take the occasion
to do one last -dev rename and just remove that version. I have no
idea why that was done in e8e0fa87dae625cfe33831999755344d3dbf5d98,
but "strong compatibility" doesn't really mean anything.
* this is library transition, so it has to go to experimental
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions
* Can I recommend to let go of cdbs and use dh instead? (there are good
chances that doing that would also multiarchify the library)
* pristine-tar is not updated, neither is the upstream branch
* I see there is no symbols file, would it be a good idea to add one?
Some simple starting is at https://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles

This also means I'll just review them one at time as well…

Personally, I tend to prefer to do the debian/* tag myself while
uploading.
