welcome onboard!
Just please note: the first step is Debian Maintainer, the nick as Developer
will be the last very part of your process.

For now please don't hesitate to contribute, and with some time you might
become able to upload packages alone :)

lets review the packages:

audacious

1) I prefer a Team Upload, you are part of the team now.
2) std-version is not 3.9.7, please update
3) I prefer autoreconf instead of autotools-dev
4) somebody already imported the new release on git
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/audacious.git

please try to merge your changes there :)

btrfs-toools:
+Replaces: btrfs-tools (<< 4.4.1-1)

I think also a breaks is needed
https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition

I would just drop the dbg package, they are autobuilt now (you need to use the ddbg migration I think)

anyway, that one requires an RFS bug and an ack from the maintainer.
(there should be a link on -mentors with the precompiled template for your package)

you should also bump std-version.

cheers, and thanks for the nice contribution, I'll followup on the RFS bug eventually.

thanks
