I was unfortunately not able to build your package in a clean sid
chroot:
[...]
checking for GTK2... configure: error: *** Gtk+2 >=2.16 development files not
found!
make: *** [debian/stamp-autotools] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
E: Failed autobuilding of package
Check your build dependencies, and also note that you shouldn't
explicitly depend on libraries: linking is automatically detected and
the necessary libraries are added to ${shlibs:Depends}.
I would also change your Recommends to a Suggests [1].

Another suggestion: since DEP-5 [2] is probably going to become policy,
it's recommended to use this format for the debian/copyright file in new
packages.

Also, your debian/patches/debian-changes-0.9.1-1 patch is creating
several files, and making a bunch of other changes; since you're
upstream, it doesn't seem like it's intended.
Finally, "licensecheck -r tomb-0.9.1" reports some missing or incomplete
copyright headers; as upstream you can easily fix those.

In debian/dirs, you're instructing debhelper to create a usr/sbin
directory, but I guess you're not installing any file in it.
Thanks for your work.
