OK. Made these changes.

> We set changelog entry distribution field to UNRELEASED until the package is
> actually uploaded to Debian archive. I suggest you follow this path too. Read

> In your case, debian/changelog should look the following until packaging is

> libdbusmenu-qt (0.3.2-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
>
>  * Initial release. (Closes: #579677)

lintian was complaining about so files (I don't remember the exact
warning, but it is not coming now - may be one of the intermediate
versions with incomplete changes) and when looking at the docs I saw
this,

"If you have multiple binary packages, you will need to call
dpkg-shlibdeps on each one which contains compiled libraries or
binaries."
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html

But it seems redundant, now removed.
