An upload should be a -1 since the Debian archive has never seen the package
before so you've to combine the changelog into one entry.
The changes made on the way to this first upload will be only seen in
your VCS if you use one. The Vcs-Git lines in debian/control should be
modified to reflect that or be removed.

So far I've just fed the source package to lintian and there
are already a bunch of issue listed. Some of them are not that important
(wishlist) but others should be tackled.

If you're not already doing it you should also build the package in clean
enviroment with pbuilder et. al. and afterwards, as a very basic check, feed
the resulting package (via the .changes) file to lintian.

I'd recommend you apt-get install lintian and look through the
recommendations for yourself. If you work on Debian/stable you've to install
the lintian package from backports.d.o.
