I checked this out and have noticed in debian/README.source:

  "The SIFT implementation was removed from the source ..."

That's OK, but if you change the upstream source you should either
provide

   a) get-orig-source target in d/rules
   b) specify Files-Excluded in d/copyright and use the enhanced
      uscan described here:

         https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements

I personally recommend the latter since it is more simple to implement
and from my personal point of view more transparent.

I added

   Suggests: libvlfeat-dev

since we usually link to user applications in non-dev metapackages.  It might
make sense to consider an imageanalysis-dev metapackage since the task now
is assembling several lib*-dev packages that way.  What do you think?

Is there any chance to also create a vlfeat-{tools,utils} package with a
plain user application for demonstarting the library?
 
Feel free to add your package to the SoB Wiki page.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
