Looks good; built, signed, and uploaded, thanks for your work!

Some minor nitpicks (none of which block upload):
- since you're building all the client and data binary packages from
the same source package, for the client packages, why not just depend
on freeciv-data (= ${source:Version}) instead of your current approach
( freeciv-data (<= ${source:Version}), freeciv-data (>=
${source:Upstream-Version}))? The former approach will work equally
well for source uploads and won't break on binNMUs, so I'm unsure what
the benefit of using the latter is?
- you don't need autotools-dev if you're already using dh-autoreconf
(you're invoking both helpers in d/rules)
- add-keywords-to-desktop-files.patch doesn't have a proper DEP-3
header (assuming you've forwarded this upstream, it's missing a link
to upstream's bug tracker)

Jacob, Marko: would it be possible to sign upstream's tarball with a
gpg key (rationale can be found at [1])? It's certainly not required
or anything, just a suggestion. :)

Cheers,
Vincent
