by doing it :)

It's the same process as creating PPA packages. Though, for Debian one
needs to be a bit more diligent (the package must have proper license
information, a man page and .desktop file,.. IOW be 'lintian clean' &
DEP-3 compliant) and become approved (find a 'sponsor' for your uploads).

details are at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging

After you're done, you can also push it into a PPA until the package
trickled down the debian-queue to your distribution/release.

I'm on it; call git-buildpackage on
