Hi,

that directory would need to be /debian, not somewhere deeper in the
tree. (Interestingly, you already have a /debian, just with less
files.)

FPA usually doesn't produce "proper" packages with a curated
debian/changelog (no throwing away of old entries, and sensible log
messages) and the other bits.

debian/rules shouldn't try to build a -dbg package these days

debian/control shouldn't depend on postgresql-server-dev-13 but on
postgresql-server-dev-all if you really need server headers instead of
just the client ones.

The Description needs more content

Standards-Version is outdated

Consider using debhelper-compat (= 13) instead of debian/compat 9

Consider providing a systemd .service file along the init script
