Sorry about the delay in reviewing this!  It looks great.  I just noticed
a couple of things that I think would be worth fixing.

1. debian/control declares a dependency on debhelper 8, but debian/compat
   says compat level 7.  I'd just bump that up to 8.

2. The package long description in debian/control reads a bit like
   marketing literature in a few spots.  It's not a big deal, but how
   about this phrasing instead?

 Thrust is a CUDA library of parallel algorithms with an interface
 resembling the C++ Standard Template Library (STL). Thrust provides a
 flexible high-level interface for GPU programming by providing a rich
 collection of data parallel primitives such as scan, sort, and reduce.
 It then automatically selects an efficient implementation without
 requiring source modifications.
 .
 The Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) enables NVIDIA
 graphics processing units (GPUs) to be used for massively parallel
 general purpose computation.

That adds in a few more details from the Quick Start Guide.

You can also go ahead and add DM-Upload-Allowed: yes to the package so
that once it gets through NEW (and your key is registered), you can upload
further updates directly.

Thanks!
