Debian already has aptlinex so apturl isn't needed. Might be a good

The best solution would just be to drop most -dbg packages, drop
maintainer-uploaded binary packages (using the buildd built packages
instead), install the dh_strip from debug.d.n on all the buildds and

And archive.debian.org, which includes
Use "cd plugins/icq ; qmake-qt4 icq.pro" instead of "qmake-qt4 icq.pro".
debian/rules is just a makefile, so everything in the GNU Make manual
applies to it.
Also, you might want to file a bug upstream (with patch if you have
time) asking for them to pick one build system and stick with it.
