With everything else we discussed fixed already, here comes my actual
review of the package.

I see you used two lintian overrides, one for the binary package and one
for the source. Both are clearly justified, they were the good way to
handle the errors/warnings you got. On the other hand they lack some
explanatory comment for future maintainers/uploaders.

Could you, for each one, add a comment in the lintian-overrides files to
explain why these warnings from lintian should be ignored? (a couple
words would be enough, as long as it makes it clear there is an actual
reason for silencing these warnings)

Once this is done, this package should be ready for the actual upload.

I do have an extra suggestion, but feel free to ignore it. This one is
about the debian/watch file.

We have a new format for this file that makes them much easier to read
by humans, especially for tarballs fetched from GitHub like the ones you
use. Look for "github.com" in debian-watch(5) man page for the new
syntax, or here for an actual example:
http://git.vv221.fr/debian/jazz2-native/plain/debian/watch

Once the lintian overrides are explained, please send a new upload that
I’m going to test and most probably upload without any further changes
requested. The debian/watch change could be included too, but this one
is only if you’re convinced that the new format would be nicer to work
with.
