I've just pushed a couple of fixes to the Debian rules. I'm able to
build packages on LUbuntu 23.04. Maybe a couple of small fixes are still
needed to build packages on Debian. So the recommended git sha to use is
4705cb4cf96. It's a release candidate and ready to use in client
applications.
In Debian the common practice is to separate the upstream repository
(i.e., the package source) from packaging repository (i.e., where Debian
packaging instructions are being developed). Common practice is to host
the latter on salsa.debian.org, usually together with the package
source. Thus I would suggest following this approach. I have put a short
guide about how to do that [1].

The only error Lintian showed is "unknown distribution", but this is
because I run it on Ubunutu.
Right.

It's a library and I guess end users will benefit from it.
OK, makes sense.
Since this is an image decoding library, my personal opinion is that it
would better fit the scope of Debian Multimedia Team instead of Debian
Science Team.
