I can review the package and offer my comments in the meantime.

Gabor,

Your package is not lintian-clean, please investigate (lintian -EviI 
--pedantic) and fix what you can.

debian/control:
I think Section: sound would be more suitable than Section: gnome.
You can drop some version requirements, please run 'cme check dpkg'.
Latest Policy version is 4.1.0.
Please use https for the homepage address.

The Debian changelog for new packages is usually very simple. This 
should be enough:
parlatype (1.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Initial release (Closes: #868886)

debian/copyright should use the established short license names, i.e. 
GPL-3+ for "version 3 or later" and CC-BY-SA-4, not CCBYSA-4. They are 
listed in the format specification.
For the CC licenses, I think it is not enough to just refer to a web 
page, as the terms must be readable offline.
See if any http URL can be changed to https in this file, too.

In debian/rules, based on my testing, I can tell these two lines are not 
needed:
DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1
include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk

Otherwise, the package looks very good to me.


With best regards,
Juhani
