as was already said, it shouldn't be Debian native unless there's good
reason to keep it that firmly in sync with Debian as its distro. Seeing
that packaging/ offers more than Debian, it's pretty much nonsense to
have it go native.

Moreover I do see from the orig tarball that you're shipping that you
modified cfg.tab.h...
$ diffstat openser_1.0.1-0.diff.gz|less
 cfg.tab.h                       |  387 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-(snip)-
$

Any reason to not do this upstream? Or just lacking from the clean
target?

Regarding the lintian problems, you can just feed the below list into
lintian-info and it should give you quite all help you're gonna need.

Btw. your debian/rules has some very.. uhm.. "interesting" code
sniplets. For example, is there any reason to force "nostrip" rather
than removing the lines further down adding -s to the install command?
It's not that the rules would be "bad" as such, it's just from
experience that it may cause longer searching for problems if they try
to implement logic that might as well go upstream. Just like the install
target has very much "ugly" code adding settings to each of the calls.
I'd welcome if we could have this cleaned up to a more centralistic
approach. Maybe adding only one "make install" call and from there using
dh_install is worth considering.

Overall it doesn't look too bad though. ;)
