How do you come to that idea?
I unpacked your package, built it with dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot,
and run lintian on the resulting package:
$ ls
rules.norbert* snap2_4.16-1_amd64.changes snap2_4.16.orig.tar.gz
snap2-4.16/ snap2_4.16-1.diff.gz
snap2_4.16-1_all.deb snap2_4.16-1.dsc
$ intian snap2_4.16-1_amd64.changes
W: snap2 source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends snap2
W: snap2 source: dh-clean-k-is-deprecated
E: snap2 source: debian-rules-missing-required-target binary-arch
W: snap2 source: ancient-standards-version 3.7.3 (current is 3.8.4)
$
So I fixed those things and build a new package, now it is lintian clean.
I attach a fixed debian/rules file (too many diffs) in which I also
removed those lines that are completely useless. The generated rules
file should only be a starting point and you should tailor it to your needs,
removing unused stuff.
Furthermore, the control file needs a change:

storage economy of incremental backups.
---------------------------
So changing the Standards version and addin ${misc:Depends} to the dependencies.
After that it is lintian clean,......
BUT: You have a dependency on
gtkdialog
but there is no package gtkdialog anymore, and also the file is gone
(but in m68k arch, please see packages.debian.org and search for
gtkdialog file).
SO I am not sure how this program should run?
