Thanks for your work. Here goes my comments:
1. You use quilt as build-depends. This should not be neccessary with
dpkg-source v3.
2. fix-sys-path.patch feels like you should split out the python modules
into the standard python path. That may also cause ${python:Depends} to
match further packages directly without having them explicitly spelled
out on the Depends line in debian/control
Setting --install-lib=/usr/share/s3ql to something more sensible
(according to [1] would be /usr/lib/s3ql) will help here.
3. debian/README.Debian doesn't need to be in *.docs. See man
dh_installdocs:
Each of these files is automatically installed if present for a
package.
4. Downloading
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.14.tar.gz
Extracting in /tmp/tmpeY0G4V
OUCH! buildds do not all have internet access. Your package should build
fine without that. Moreover the contents of the pulled in tarball could
be anything. Thus ensuring DFSG-free sources is virtually impossible
when external sources are pulled in.
5. Your package doesn't build in pbuilder:
