With a little help from Paul Sladen I got it sorted thanks. My only
issue now is that the installed package only runs if you call it using
the full path /opt/cliftontestsuite/primetest. Just typing primetest an
any random location does not work. Is this by design or have I screwed up?

Gareth .... Just over a year ago, I had a go at making a Debian Sword
set of packages. The errors you are getting seem remarkably similar.
After a lot of discussion on a Deban packaging list, I discovered that
the Sword stuff simply would not build properly under Ubuntu. Solution:
use debootstrap. This creates a Debian minimal installation in a chroot
environment ... the instructions for debootstrap are very complex - but
it does do the lintian checks properly and I got working packages that I
was able to test out properly. I handed it over to someone (I can't
remember who) and after a couple of tweaks, it passed Debian. Same
thing ought to be OK for Ubuntu packages. Get back to me if you want
more info. I have a few notes, but memory is less certain after over a
year.
