I had a look at your package, and here's a few things you could improve:
- lintian -I --pedantic qasmixer_0.12.0-3.dsc gives the following
output:
W: qasmixer source: native-package-with-dash-version
I: qasmixer source: missing-debian-source-format
W: qasmixer source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.4 (current is 3.9.2)
(run it with -i to get a full explanation of their meaning).
- You're using compat level 7; you should use 8 (in debian/compat and
the version of debhelper in debian/control).
- Please consider using DEP-5 [1] for your debian/copyright file (not
a requirement, but highly recommended).

- debian/docs: why are you installing CMakeLists.txt?
- debian/control: there's no 'multimedia' section in unstable [2].
[2] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/
- debian/changelog: your entries should be much more descriptive; see
[3] for details.

I hope this helps.
