This is not very convenient since I cannot use dget on this URL. But, I
have downloaded the source code successfully nonetheless. I am dropping
debian-release@ but keeping Emilio since he did a review before.

 - d/control: don't depends on libc6-dev, this is part of
   build-essential
 - d/control: short descriptions should be something like:

 locate and modify a variable in a running process (library)
 locate and modify a variable in a running process (development)
 locate and modify a variable in a running process

 - d/control: a "This package contains the development files" should be
   appended to the long description for libscanmem-dev
 - d/control: a library should not suggest its dependencies
 - d/dirs: empty, remove it
 - d/docs: README is automatically added, if TODO is not interesting for
   end-users, you may consider to remove the whole file (but you are
   free to keep it)
 - d/libscanmem-dev.install: except if you have some users for that,
   remove the .a.
 - d/changelog: don't use urgency=high (this is for security updates),
   keep urgency=low or urgency=medium (there is currently no difference
   between them)
 - d/copyright: the rule is last match wins, so you need to put the
   "Files: *" section first

Overall, I don't think that Emilio asked for a separate package for
libscanmem1. Since this is a private library, this can be kept in the
scanmem package. The only drawback would be that people using
gameconqueror will have to also install scanmem to get the lib. I don't
think you get a Lintian warning when doing that (since the library is
not installed in /usr/lib directly). But, it's up to you. Note that with
the two new binary packages, the upload will take some time since it
will be blocked in the NEW queue (expect at least a 1-week delay).
