There is no Debian Apache policy. But in answer to your questions, I
have put some hints on the Debian wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/Apache/PackagingModules
Feel free to correct errors and/or ask for clarifications.

Using mentors.debian.net is not strictly necessary if you have some
other web space where you can make the module available so that
potential sponsors can download it.
BTW, use lintian on your package to check for some common mistakes.
