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

Hello, Robin!
I apologize, I never created any debs. I did try to call
git-buildpackage, but it said home/louigi is not a repository,
so I guess I need to do some preparation, but most importantly -
learn how to do this.
I remember I did want to do debs, but it turned out to be a time consuming
and complex process.
I do plan to learn how to use PPA at least. Creating a PPA account might
be useful.

that may
be a suitable short-term solution, but why not do it properly
and package it upstream at debian?

How is that done?
