Ok, but you should choose your snapshots carefully. It should be
stable enough to go into Debian, even for unstable.

Then you must prevent the unstable->testing transition by a
never fixed release critical bug. I hope that is not what you want. ;-)

If your package has not big bugs, it will go into Lenny, our
next stable release. Enjoy it! ;-)

I'm not sure, if I could follow this short periods. ;-)
I would suggest it is the best to do a new version, if a bug is
going to be fixed or new features were added upstream.

Please check every source file you introduce into Debian by yourself.

Please see manpage of debhelper and all dh_* manpages. I be sure you
will find the right ones.

IMO all files are useless for an enduser.
AUTHORS - all authors should be listed in debian/copyright
BUGS - empty
BUILD - your distribute a binary package (or source package with
prepared build run, no user needs build instructions)
COMPILERS - no interesting information for Linux user
NEWS - homepage is already in debian/copyright
README - homepage is already in debian/copyright
TODO - no information for enduser

Perhaps you should write it. ;-)
Perhaps you could translate your manpages into a foreign language?
