lintian is a tool to check packages for various problems. 'W' indicates a warning, and 'E' an error (bad!). I've provided links to explanations of all the errors below, though the warnings should be looked at too when those are solved. > W: cliftontestsuite source: no-section-field-for-source > E: cliftontestsuite source: debian-files-list-in-source http://lintian.debian.org/tags/debian-files-list-in-source.html > W: cliftontestsuite source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends cliftontestsuite > > W: cliftontestsuite source: debhelper-compat-file-is-missing > W: cliftontestsuite source: package-uses-deprecated-debhelper-compat-version > 1 > E: cliftontestsuite source: package-uses-debhelper-but-lacks-build-depends http://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-uses-debhelper-but-lacks-build-depends.html > E: cliftontestsuite source: temporary-debhelper-file debhelper.log http://lintian.debian.org/tags/temporary-debhelper-file.html > W: cliftontestsuite source: no-debian-copyright > E: cliftontestsuite source: no-standards-version-field http://lintian.debian.org/tags/no-standards-version-field.html > Seriously, do they not want people to bother doing this?

You could also upload your package somewhere, I'm sure some kind soul with the knowledge would help fix it and show you where you went wrong.
