Yes, this difference must be caused by mismatch of lintian versions. For
packaging we are supposed to use the newest versions as they are in
Debian sid (a.k.a. unstable). Thus I do not get
improbable-bug-number-in-closes, but I see source-is-missing.

OK, adding lintian-overrides will do then. However, the way you have
added them now does not work. You should put the following:
libtrexio source: source-is-missing [docs/templator_front.html]
libtrexio source: source-is-missing [docs/templator_hdf5.html]
libtrexio source: source-is-missing [docs/templator_text.html]
libtrexio source: source-is-missing [docs/tutorial_benzene.html]
Notice 'docs/' instead of 'share/doc/trexio/' as we are supposed to put
paths inside the source tarball. Only these four files have to be
overridden, others are fine.

OK, these are fine now.

On my machine this is the expected value, but as said, I am doing builds
on Debian sid, as expected for Debian packaging.
Please fix the remaining issue with lintian overrides. After that I will
upload the package to NEW.
Best,
