Very good.  I had a look and cleaned up some issues.  The most annoying
issue left is that 'gbp buildpackage' do not work because of this:

  fatal: Path 'freetuxtv_0.6.8~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz.delta' does not exist in 'refs/heads/pristine-tar'
  pristine-tar: git show refs/heads/pristine-tar:freetuxtv_0.6.8~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz.delta failed
  gbp:error: Couldn't checkout "freetuxtv_0.6.8~dfsg1.orig.tar.gz": it exited with 128

Perhaps you can fix it?

I've tested the package in Jessie (with a patch), and it seem to be
working.  Unfortunately the database of video and audio sources seem to
be horribly outdated, making it hard to find a stream to use for
testing.

Are you going to push the patches and manual page upstream?  Are you in
touch with upstream?  He seem quite responsive.

Btw, you should drop the menu file and use a desktop file instead.
