This is bad. Imagine someone else becomes the Debian maintainer. Also,
with native packages you need to make another upstream release with each
change in Debian packaging.

It's a P tag which you are most likely not asking to emit. Also, you are
supposed to use tools from sid when making packages from sid. In any case,
there are several missing spaces after field names, after commas and
inside dependency version specifications.

Yes, that's what the Build-Depends field is for.
