I'm not a DD, but my AM will upload the package if/when it's fine, so I've

You don't need to edit the Makefile in the diff.gz, instead you can remove
COPYING and the dir in the binary-post-install target in debian/rules.
Since you're using python-central, you don't need to build-depend on
python-support (or if you decide to use python-support, remove python-central
from the build-dependencies).
Standards-Version is outdated, 3.8.1 is the latest.
The homepage doesn't really look like a homepage :) but I can't find one...
The binary package should be named python-block (i.e. you prefix the name of the
python module with 'python-', in this case the module is block).
You must build the module for all the supported python versions
A couple of lintian tags:
I: pyblock source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
I: python-pyblock: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
emi...@saturno:~$ python -c 'import block'
dm.c: 1585: not running as root returning empty list
Traceback (most recent call last):

File /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/block/__init__.py, line 50, in

Looks like we need libbdevid, which is not in Debian...

BuildRequires: zlib-devel, libbdevid = 5.1.0

In debian/copyright you say the sources are GPL2+, but it looks like they are
GPL2 | GPL3 to me.
