I'm assuming by this you meant I should only include Vcs-* if the
debian/ directory is in a separate repository? Please let me know if
not, but for now I removed these
The typical way in Debian to maintain a package via git is using
git-buildpackage.
That uses one branch for upstream source (without debian/) and one branch for
the changes in debian/,
merging upstream code on new releases. And usually, the packages are maintained
in Debian's salsa Gitlab instance.
It is preferrable to maintain it that way but you can keep your current
workflow if you like.
There is one very important tool for packaging that is called lintian. Please
run it on your package.
Please fix at least the following lintian messages:
E: heaptrace source: source-is-missing test/double_free2
E: heaptrace source: source-is-missing test/double_free2-stripped
E: heaptrace source: source-is-missing test/double_free3
E: heaptrace source: source-is-missing test/double_free4

Also, debian/files must not be included in the git tree.
