Hello All,
I have uploaded the new version of the package with most of the
suggested modifications. I am still working on the rest. Here is the
url to the signed dsc:
 http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dmtcp/dmtcp_1.2.0+svn859.dsc

Actually, I was wrong earlier; we will be having the
libdmtcpawareSOVERSION package. I am currently working on it and will
update as soon as I am done.

Done.

I have fixed that now, and it should work. (Earlier the key was hosted
only on http-keys.gnupg.net)

Done.

Done.

Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks!

Done.

Done.

Of-course it was of use :-P
