I have only some minor nitpicks about the packaging:
- debian/patches/series is an empty file. It can be removed.
- debian/rules: just 'rm -rf doc/html doc/latex doc/man' should be
enough. rm -f will not give an error for files that do not exist.
- please update the config.{guess,sub} files when building the
package, eg. with the autotools_dev sequence addon for debhelper. See
/usr/share/doc/autotools-dev for the reason.
As an alternative you can also regenerate all autotools files with
dh-autoreconf.
- please consider using xz compression for the binary packages, we
decided to try to implement this at least for data packages in a team
meeting[1].
You need to call dh_builddeb -- -Zxz and optionally a Pre-Depends on
dpkg (1.15.6~). (The Pre-Depends is needed for upgrades from
distributions using in older dpkg, eg. Ubuntu Lucid[2].)
As this changes the soname, did you test that the packages
build-depending on libwfmath-0.3-dev still work (build) with the new
version?

Ansgar

[2] Though this should matter less now as Ubuntu stopped syncing
packages for their next LTS release already.
