debi

Of course, you should actually install your new package as one part of checking it. “debi” saves some typing by installing the most recent .deb file found in a parent of the current directory. It requires root privileges, so you will actually type sudo debi (or, using bash's command history, perhaps just ^Rsu).

Debian Quality Assurance Site

If there is already a version of the package in the collection, you should review its entry at the QA site. You can start at http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html. Check the “Bug Count”, “TODO”, and “Testing Status” sections.
