I think I figured out why this failed: I think you were using an
unmodified 0.10.0 tarball. At the moment, my revisions since that
release, including the ARM64 support, are in the rEFInd git repository
on Sourceforge. An attempt to build on ARM64 from 0.10.0 will of
course fail.

I use a script called mkdistrib (which is in the git repository) to
create my tarballs, binary files, etc. You should be able to run it
yourself like this:

./mkdistrib {version} --nosign

It'll create a directory tree called ../snapshots/{version} and put
files there. It will almost certainly error out on you sooner or
later, but not before it's built a source tarball. Alternatively,
here's my latest snapshot:

http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind-src-0.10.0.7.tar.gz

I've made some changes this evening that should clean up many of the
lintian issues. That said, when I ran lintian, I got a much shorter
list than you did. (I tried both from Ubuntu 14.04 and Debian 8.2.)
What options were you passing to it?

Concerning the errata.js file error, that's part of the Creative
Commons license files. I just tossed the whole contents of the
relevant CC Web page into a directory, but I suppose I can replace
that with plain text or something. I think I saw something about a
Debian page with a bunch of archived licenses, so maybe I'll look for
that....
