Hi Corentin,
it seems that I have left your last question unanswered since it somehow
slipped in when I was offline some days.

I'd agree with lintian that you should not run this as root. Your
prompt does not give any hint that you are root, however.

So you do not understand why lintian informs you about the fact that the
packages are empty (which they are actually) or why the packages remain
empty? I intend to recommend the usage of d-shlibs but my web search
failed and so I probably only wanted to write about this - sorry for
actually forgetting to do so.
May be the best way to learn is to inspect
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/snp-sites.git
which was also created in a MoM project. There is no real need to move
files using d-shlibs but in the case of library packages I always
recommend it over dh_install (see manpage).
Hope this helps and feel free to ping me earlier in case I might leave
some question unanswered
Andreas.
