    GPL-3.0+ with OpenSSL exception

What does it mean? Where is the "OpenSSL exception" documented? In the 
copyright you should point to the proper documentation.

It's not a matter of which dh-make version you use. It simply says that the
debian/copyright template, which has been created by an older version of
dh-make have to be updated. Now you use DEP5 so there is no problem (note
that newer dh-make version from sid creates a DEP5 template).

I added you to the group on alioth.d.o :)

Also note that I'm not a DD (maybe I should have said this before), 
therefore I can't upload your package, but I am sure you'll find someone
in the team to do so (when the package will be in a proper shape, of 
course).

Not quite true, I still see many spelling-error-in-binary. You should
patch the source files fixing those spelling errors.

I've also spotted some more issues:
- In debian/control the long description starts with a '.'. It is not 
necessary (you can remove it).
- The package includes and compiles the whole liblua sources. It should
rely on libraries provided by the system rather than build and link
against local copies. You should patch the building system if possible, to 
use the Debian provided liblua (from the liblua5.1-0-dev and liblua5.1-0 
packages).
- Under applications/applestreamingclient/flex/html-template there is a
playerProductInstall.swf binary file, which is not in the "preferred form
of modification". Proper sources should be provided, or the file should
be removed by the orig.tar archive (there may be other files in the same
condition, please have a closer look and fix/remove all the problematic
files).

I've also noticed that the empty debian/docs file is still there (please 
remove it).

Cheers
