by doing it :)<br>

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

<br>
After you're done, you can also push it into a PPA until the package<br>
trickled down the debian-queue to your distribution/release.<br>
<br>
I'm on it; call git-buildpackage on<br>
