I am upstream in this case, thanks for the feedback. I think the get-orig-souorce is used by bzr-builddeb, which I use. But I will investigate this more anyway, and see if I can remove it.
The qimo-launcher.1 was manually edited after it was generated, so recreating it at build time wouldn't be easy. Some of the packages in Depends I wasn't able to find in pypi, so they aren't in the setup.py I'm not sure what would be involved in switching to GTK+ 3, do you have any recommendations for where I can learn more about it? I will try and address the rest of the things you listed. Thank you for the feedback. This is my first attempt and getting a package into Debian, so I am learning as I go.
