it just asks you to add "#DEBHELPER#" to the postinst script for the
*CASE* that debhelper wants to add something. Just a line added to the
bottom with this tag will suffice.

It asks you to at least support this option, even if you initially only
ship with original english locale.

You did not package against openser_1.0.1.orig.tar.gz but plain from the
CVS checkout/export. You should however build with the original tarball
that you distribute on the website and have the debian/ dir go into the
*.diff.gz for a non-native Debian package.

That's why it's telling you that you shall write one about what each of
the scripts does. Users will want to read how to operate "openserctl" in
a manpage, so you should write one if there is none yet.

Probably this could be alternatively moved to some README* or so. If
that for some reason is not an option, then I guess it can stay.
