Lintian also reports the following:

Now running lintian...
W: lubuntu-meta source: package-uses-deprecated-debhelper-compat-version 4
W: lubuntu-meta source: diff-contains-bzr-control-dir .bzr
W: lubuntu-desktop: old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file
W: lubuntu-desktop: unknown-section metapackages
E: lubuntu-desktop: depends-on-metapackage depends: xorg

Fixing these requires:
1) 
   a) echo 5 > debian/compat
   b) bump the debhelper version to 5 in debian/control
2) in debian/rules: also delete .bzr in the clean rule and right after the make invocation.
3) Remove the address section completely; instead add a reference to the inclusion of the GPL text in the distro:

4) Is that an Ubuntu-specific section?
5) Requires adding a Lintian override.
