I checked out the git repository and have the following remarks:
1. in d/README.source you wrote:
./07/tek2ps/ have been removed from sources
It is OK to remove things from upstream source if needed but this
should be turned into code rather than a document.
The usual way to do so was adding a get-orig-source target into
debian/rules. I'd personally recommend the enhanced uscan which
is described here:
https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements
and which simply enables you to add the deleted files to the machine
readable d/copyright file. In case you might choose this you could
even drop README.source because it would have been properly documented.
2. Any reason to choose debhelper compatibility level 7 instead of 9?
3. To old Standards-Version
I'd recommend using
cme fix dpkg-control
which will fix this for you and does some other nice things.
4. d/copyright: Please fix the issues occuring when doing
cme fix dpkg-copyright
5. I do not insist on fixing the vcs-field-not-canonical lintian info
but I polished my own packages to fit his recommendation (you get
it when calling `lintian -I`.
Kind regards
Andreas.
