Your changelog contains:
+ * Modified debian/gpa.desktop to adhere to standards.
+ - Deleted the upstream gpa.desktop file as it has deprecated options.
and
+ * Removed the upstream gpa.png file.
But this doesn't appear in the diff. By "upstream" here, do you mean Debian? Also, why are you removing the gpa.png file?
If "upstream" does not mean Debian, I don't think deleting the upstream gpa.desktop file is the right approach; I believe you should patch it, so you can send the patch upstream.
