Torquil, some suggestions on packaging: I think it is better: 1) to use compat-level 9 2) dh instead of cdbs, debian/rules will be shorter and more clear in this case; 3) copyright-file in DEP-5 format; 4) DEP-3 for patches 5) postinst and prerm scripts should be inspected.
If you want, I can try to help with some of points.
