Hi Luke,

thanks for you work. 

After a very quick glance at this package, wouldn't it make sense to 
split the nautilus extension into its own package? cf. 
nautilus-nextcloud. 

A few more notes:

- d/changelog: Should only contain "Initial release (Closes: #XXXXX)"
  for the first release.

- d/control: you can already switch to debhelper 14, see 
  man debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist

- The debian packaging itself should life separately from the main git 
  repo IMO, i.e. on Debian salsa gitlab.
- The source format should be 3.0 quilt, as this is not a 
  Debian-specific package
- you should add a upstream/metadata file
- Likewise for a watch file
- Documentation should got into a separate -doc package

I haven't had time to look more in-depth on this though.
This could be just maintained as-is, though IMO could be moved to the 
GNOME Extras team, too.

Note that I won't have time to sponsor anything until end of this month.


best,

werdahias
