please consider making the package name less generic. You could for example
name it amd-gaia, gaia-amd, gaia-ai or similar.

The following files are probably not licensed MIT:
./data/pdf/Oil-and-Gas-Activity-Operations-Manual-1-10.pdf
./workshop/docs/ms-build-blender-agent-workshop-2025.pdf

You may want to stay in touch with the Debian ML team about whether this
software can go into main or should go into contrib.

this is a bad short description. The developers-reference has some guidelines
on how to write a good short description:

Upstream git only has only 22 commits. Please remember that software in Debian
stable is supposed to be supported for at least five years. This makes
packaging new, experimental or immature software risky because if upstream is
not up for maintaining it until 2032 (probably the year until which Forky will
receive long-term support), then you'll be the person to provide this support.
