I would suggest two changes for the packaging, installing docs/WHATSNEW
as the upstream changelog by adding the following to debian/rules:
override_dh_installchangelogs:
dh_installchangelogs docs/WHATSNEW
And including the attached patch (adapted from a change I already
got merged upstream).
A new upstream release is imminent, but you might not want to wait for
that.
Description: Use XDG_DATA_DIR for eeproms and roms
Patch already in upstream git as

Some Atari Jaguar cartridges feature a small writable EEPROM, used for
saving game state and score lists. If this directory exists,
virtualjaguar will emulate the EEPROM by saving the state in file in
this directory.

The virtualjaguar GUI for loading software scans this directory, and
shows the loadable files, along with information about the program,
and a label image if one is included in a zip archive of the software.
