There are some mistakes: first, please try to split off the source; name the 'upstream' source _only_ to ncview_1.92e.orig.tar.gz and let debuild or anything else you use to build your package to generate a diff for it. Also, building fails right off at the configure: checking for /root/src/netcdf/netcdf-3.4/src/libsrc/netcdf.h... no Error: I cannot find the directory that holds the netcdf include file netcdf.h! Please remove debian/ncview.doc-base.EX (example file, and you don't use it), debian/README.Debian (it's empty, useless). Looking into the source, I see you directly program X11, but you don't have any build dependencies on it in debian/control (do you need interface/x_interface.orig.c btw?). Please remove the unused (commented out lines) from debian/rules Please fix debian/copyright , if there's only one upstream author, then you don't need the (s) at the end, a pointer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL would be good, etc. Please look into other packages' copyright file (someone have a good link how a copyright file should like, please speak up). I think we can help you more if you fixed these.
