Okay, I took a look at your package.

First, it only builds after applying the following patch:

         cat src/*.f | debian/get-function-ref.pl > function-reference
 
         touch $@

Second, please address the following Lintian messages:

Yes, please, use a patch management system for introducing the
Debian-specific changes.
