This should be the _upstream_ version, not your debian package's
version.

This is OK, but make sure debian/copyright notes what is licensed under
which license.

This should be a description which describes cinebench exactly. It
should additionally be shorter than this.

Again, should be a description which describes cinebench only. Also, in
my opinion, it shouldn't read as a sales pitch.
