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.

of this automatically. 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.
