The hint that we have observed is that the problem is only with files
in the utf8 sub-directory. So, at some point we suspect that umask
was involved somehow. We could still experiment with forcing
permissions in the utf8 directory in the dh_fixperms stage...
I'll try that later today.

mm,... It looks like I have to fix that date..
Now it will be:
"0.0.20111206"

I have not taken care of the PWD ones (just replaced with CURDIR),
and the one about misc-depends, was fixed when adding the metapackage.
I'm now getting the following ones:
W: vista source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends vista-0.0.20121206
W: vista source: maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token
debian/vista.postinst
W: vista-0.0.20121206: empty-binary-package
BTW,
I forgot to mention that, following Bhaskar suggestion, we now
have two packages:
A) vista-0.0.20121206
B) vista (a metapackage that points to A).
I will appreciate a review here from Debian developers,
because I'm not sure that I did that right.... (the metapackage)

This is done now:
A user can set it its environment by doing:
source /var/lib/vista/profile/vista_profile

Yeap,...

We will bring this topic to our weekly call on Thursday,
and see what VistA experts suggest.
