On the Python policy subject, I was figuring that I didn't need to
follow Python policy as my program runs as a script and does not provide
.py modules for use with the import command. You could of course import
it by copying it first, but that is not its intent. Am I right in this
assumption or do I still need to make my script available as a python
module via Python Policy?
I will change the deb-helper entries and remove the comments... thanks.

It would be nice if you re-upload with the new description, but it is
not necessary.
It is a good idea for discussions like this to be made to the -mentors
list. I have taken the liberty of replying to the list so my further
comments are made public.
I had a brief look at your package and noticed a couple of things:
- Your package should be updated for the new Python policy
<http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy>.
- Many sponsors like to have commented-out debhelper entries in the
debian/rules file removed altogether.
A couple of useful sponsorship checklists are:

That makes sense... will do. Do I need to delete the package from
mentors.debian.net and then re-upload it or just change the description
before a sponsor accepts it?

It builds these binary packages:

I suggest changing the short description to:
Factors large numbers (up to 50 digits) using the Elliptic Curve
Method (ECM)
And possibly even leaving off the "(ECM)".
My quick reasoning for this is that "up to" is more readable than "<=",
and that the expanded version of the acronym should come before the
acronym itself.
