That name is mainly for binary source name can be same as upstream
name :-). But anyway that is fine. I also did that mistake to for most
of my fonts.

Um.. That piece is CDBS generated and there is a logic behind not
having version dependency. As Jonas mentions we don't depend on newest
version of debhelper to allow easy backporting I'm yet to discuss and
submit patch for lintian to raise the bar for that check from 8 to 9

FYI your change gets overwritten when we run

DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 debian/rules debian/control
