Please attach the source package files (.dsc and .diff.gz) not the
binary result. Providing the .diff.gz is required to comply with the
GPL, if you have patched the source code. You may also find it
convenient to use launchpad's PPA feature:
https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart

Also, note that debian has a golly package: 
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/golly.html
It will be automatically synced into ubuntu once the new version (Intrepid) is 
opened, which will happen in a few days, so it's probably not a good idea to 
start work on a new package now... (though it's a bit late to be saying this)
The debian package has a number of patches applied to fix 64-bit issues, and 
provides manpages, among other things. I don't know if you've applied similar 
ones to your copy, as you didn't provide the source

For future reference when making packages, your package also turns up a large 
number of lintian warnings - run lintian on your .changes file to see them. Of 
course, some of them (new-package-should-close-itp-bug, unknown-section 
universe) can be ignored as debian specific, but ones like 
"executable-not-elf-or-script 
./usr/share/golly/Patterns/Still-Lifes/1998-eater-stamp-collection.rle" ought 
to be fixed.
That said, again, in this case it's probably best to just wait for the universe 
sync - there's no need to diverge from debian needlessly.
