src/darts.h looks like embedded copy of the Darts library. Please use the packaged version instead of the bundled one.
Done: I added a patch to remove darts.h and fix yamcha accoringly. I added darts to Built-Using and to the dependencies.

Support for ${source:Package} and ${source:Version}
variables was added to dpkg in 1.16.2, so please bump the version in
Build-Depends.

debian/patches/1002_manpages_fix.patch touches a file which starts with the following comment:

.\" DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE!  It was generated by help2man 1.23.

Unfortunately I have never been able to run help2man and to obtain good looking (i.e., no lintian complaints) manpages.
When using help2man my workflow is usually:
1) run help2man;
2) edit the files to fix issues (e.g., missing escapes, missing short command description, ...); 3) on command updates re-run help2man and manually compare (and merge) the new and old manpages. I really do not like this workflow, but is the best I have found up to now.

Do you have any suggestion?

In general, no, not really (other than ditching help2man completely).
But in this case there are only two minor changes:

-yamcha \- manual page for yamcha of 0.3
+yamcha \- general purpose chunk annotator

This can be fixed by passing an option to help2man.

Current version of help2man already takes care of this.

Also note that neither version for copyright years were up-to-date in .orig.tar, so you should re-run help2man anyway.
