thanks for your interest in supporting Debian.

i had a quick look at your repositories, and here's just a few suggestions:
- your makefile seems to be... unconventional (mostly: hardcoding 'gcc' 
as the compiler; and *install*ing to some directory where nobody would 
expect a binary to end up)
- it seems like ths sources for the images encoded in res.h are missing
- i cannot relate the LICENSE to you.
- there are no releases. (or tags.)
   Debian is more or less centered around proper upstream releases.
- your git repository contains files like SDL2.dll, borg.exe, 
borg.AppImage and borg.deb
   you are of course free to put whatever you want into your repository, 
but at least for me build artifacts (binaries!) in the repository are a 
serious reason to not look much deeper. (otoh, if there were releases, 
i wouldn't even (need to) look at the repository; but if the releases 
consisted of "source tarballs" where 1/3 of the files were just binary 
artifacts created from the remaining files, i would again lose interest)
