I had a look at the packaging, but unfortunately, there's a few things
that I find serious enough to not upload the package as-is:

What's with the Depends line?

 Depends: 
${misc:Depends},${shlibs:Depends},libglibmm-2.4-1c2a,libgdbm3,libpopt0,courier-mta

Why list libglibmm-2.4-1c2a, libgdbm3 and libpopt0 explicitly, when
they're picked up by dh_shlibdeps anyway (and that adds proper version
restrictions too)?

I haven't looked closer, but the m4 build-dependency looks interesting
to me. On a first look, it shouldn't be needed. Granted, it doesn't hurt
much, even if it is not needed, but still.

Your debian/copyright file is also incomplete (and invalid, too):

 * There is no separation between the first Source paragraph, and the
   Files paragraph.
 * It lists the upstream author as the copyright holder for debian/ (you
   only have a single Files section, so it applies to everything,
   including debian/), which is not the case.
 * It lists GPLv3 as the license, while the source headers incidcate
   GPLv2+.
 * The copyright year (2011) is wrong. According to the source headers,
   it should be 2007-2011.
