Let's start: 1) debian/rules is full of useless stuff.
%:
dh $@
override_dh_auto_build:
xsltproc --nonet --param man.charmap.use.subset 0 -o docs/
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
docs/make-test-release.1.xml
dh_auto_build
is more than enough.
2) lines can't be more than 80 char long (copyright and control)
3) control file: debhelper >=9, not 9.0.0 (it might be correct, but I think >=9
is better)
4) arch: "any", no, you seem to build an arch independent package, you don't
build anything, so your arch is "all", the same package for all architectures
5) debian/dirs is useless, install file automagically creates directories
6) xsltproc --nonet --param man.charmap.use.subset 0 -o docs/
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
docs/make-test-release.1.xml
why did you create this file if you don't install it anywhere?
7) after correcting all of them, (debian directory attached)
there still are _many_ lintian warnings, I leave to you to correct
P.S. please correct debian/source/format back to quilt, I changed it for
building locally and forgot to change it again (yes I could have used fakeroot
indeed)

N:
N: The source package uses debhelper, but it does not include
N: ${misc:Depends} in the given binary package's debian/control entry. Any
N: debhelper command may add dependencies to ${misc:Depends} that are
N: required for the work that it does, so recommended best practice is to
N: always add ${misc:Depends} to the dependencies of each binary package if
N: debhelper is in use.

N: Refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

W: make-test-release: description-synopsis-starts-with-article
N:
N: The first line of the "Description:" should omit any initial indefinite
N: or definite article: "a", "an", or "the". A good heuristic is that it
N: should be possible to substitute the package name and synopsis into this
N: formula:
N:
N: The package name provides {a,an,the,some} synopsis.

N: Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.2 (The package
N: synopsis, or short description) for details.

I: make-test-release: spelling-error-in-manpage
usr/share/man/man1/make-test-release.1.gz choosen chosen
N:
N: Lintian found a spelling error in the manpage. Lintian has a list of
N: common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary
N: like a spelling checker does.
N:
N: If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help
N: of gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool,
N: please fix the error in the translations as well as the English text to
N: avoid making the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this
N: means you should also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding
N: msgids in the *.po files.

W: make-test-release: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/switch-chroot-precise
N:
N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should
N: have a manual page
N:
N: Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N: program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have
N: its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N: sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman
N: don't support this.
N:
N: If the name of the man page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N: able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to make the
N: case of the man page match the case of the binary.
N:
N: If the man pages are provided by another package on which this package
N: depends, lintian may not be able to determine that man pages are
N: available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have man
N: pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add
N: a lintian override.

E: make-test-release: shell-script-fails-syntax-check usr/bin/make-test-release
N:
N: Running this shell script with the shell's -n option set fails, which
N: means that the script has syntax errors. The most common cause of this
N: problem is a script expecting /bin/sh to be bash checked on a system
N: using dash as /bin/sh.
N:
N: Run e.g. sh -n yourscript to see the errors yourself.
N:
N: Note this can have false-positives, for an example with bash scripts
N: using "extglob".
