Here's a quick review of your package:
Were the uploaders that you removed from d/control asked to be removed
by the MIA team, or declare publicly (e.g. on a bug or mailing list)
that they wish to be removed? If not, please don't unilaterally remove
people from uploaders; go through the MIA process [1] and have the MIA
team ensure that the uploaders in question are indeed inactive before
removing them.
A number of issues with debian/copyright:
- GPL version not specified
- copyright owners+dates not specified
- "2) Some of the programs in the scripts directory may contain other
licensing information. See the individual files for details."
wouldn't pass ftpmaster scrutiny
You may want to consider updating d/copyright to use DEP-5 while
you're fixing the above issues.

Vincent
