The package looks good. Good to see a library that properly uses libtool in Sage. :)
Here are my comments: - I'm not satisfied with the reason for the lintian override of hardening-no-fortify-functions that hardening makes no sense. Since -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 is passed, this may be a false positive from lintian, so that may be a better comment. - Pass --disable-silent-rules to configure to get a more meaningful build log. - Install README - Install NEWS as upstream changelog, instead of ChangeLog - Tip for debian/copyright: you don't need to repeat the GPL2+ in every file paragraph, one License:GPL2+ paragraph at the end would also do the trick.
