hi Lucas,
took a look at the package, and some issues came up:
* copyright: years are outdated for both packaging and upstream.
* changelog: revision 1.0.21-1.1 is missing, please restore.
* control:
+ build logs [1] suggest the program is only compatible with
systems running a linux kernel; if so, the Architecture field
should reflect that (i.e., set to 'linux-any').
+ useless (and incorrectly versioned) build-dep on debhelper, not
needed at all with debhelper-compat.
+ why the (undocumented!) bump of the versioning of the
conflicts/replaces?
+ field Rules-Requires-Root is missing.
+ build-dep on docbook-to-man could be marked <!nodoc>.
* init script:
+ exits nonzero if the executable isn't installed anymore, should
handle that condition gracefully as this is the expected
situation if the package gets uninstalled. The script and
associated files under /etc are configuration files, which are
left alone in a regular uninstall and only removed if the package
is purged.
+ usage info list a 'restart' option, but the script doesn't
actually implement one.
+ INIT INFO 'Provides' entry is missing.
+ INIT INFO 'Description' is empty/boilerplate.
* rules: doesn't respect 'nodoc' build profile. See [2] for examples
to make the documentation build conditional.
* watch: please change the URL to https.
* d/upstream:
+ that changelog file is way out of date.
+ metadata file is missing. [3]

Please remove the moreinfo tag (and CC me) once you have an updated
package ready.
