- debian/copyright: your LGPL-2.1 license block should contain the
standard LGPL header (similar to that of your GPL-2 license block just
below it in your copyright file)
- debian/control: Vcs-{Git,Browser} should point to where your
packaging is stored on alioth, not your upstream git repository (see
Policy 5.6.26 [1])
- debian/rules has a redundant override_dh_installchangelogs target
- your debian/README.source is redundant given that you use source
format "3.0 (quilt)"
