* quickly looking, this must be due to the naming:
the manpages name have to match the binaries name.
so the fix here is to rename:
- python-coherence.1 to coherence.1
- python-coherence-applet.1 to applet-coherence.1 (beware of the words
ordering).

* while you're working on that, you should also modify the 3rd .TH field of
the manpage to put the last manpage modification date (ie "Thu Mar 19
2009"). It seems to be the standard here (thought I'm not a groff / man
guru!) and is more useful than sticking with a software release that is
always changing without mandatory impact on the manpage...

* lastly, you have a typo in the changelog:
+ * Added debain/python-coherence.lintian-overrides
                         ^^
or are you trying to fork a new Debian based distro ;-p

having the above, we should be fine.
Otherwise, I'll take on me to make the remaining changes and ping you for
the ubuntu sync on the Debian upload is done. alright?

cheers,
Arnaud
