I've been told that before, but still haven't bowed because I like key 
expiry because of other reasons. Really, it should be possible, but 
the lng time many people spend in NM and the just plain broken 
keyservers out there make it a bit of a pain.

Try rerun lintian with a -i option. It should tell you more.
It seems that your postinst script makes symlink to /usr/doc.

You should set section. For this package probably the best choice will
be text.

I think if you sign the new key with the old one,
you should be able to convince him (by mail) that 
the new one is valid as well. :o)

 Currently, I am looking for a ``mentor'', while the developer I
 met could be my ``sponsor''. Maybe I misunderstood something,
 and he could be them both. 

It's possible (and reasonable) when he becomes both.

You should use /usr/share/man instead.

You obviously didn't change the section of your package
(found in debian/control).

Ciao,

It will be a problem one year from now :-)
The easiest option is to edit the key and remove or change the
expiration date with --edit-key and the expire command.
