Source package names should always be lowercase.

This is not acceptable: it should be the _upstream_ version.

This is OK, but you need to make sure debian/copyright identifies what
is under what license.

A short sentence needs to be the first line, e.g. "motion picture
retouching and painting tool".

Comparisons against GIMP and Photoshop are probably a bad idea, since
this tool has a different purpose. The sentence, "These debs are built
using gtk2." has no real value and should be removed from the
description.

Additionally, your average Debian user is not going to care what films
it was used on.
