It's simple really. There's two ways: one, you get a developer to jump
up and say "I want to package Paradise!". If this doesn't success in doing
that, the other is to package it yourself (there's plenty of documentation
and thousands of examples.) Then ask this list for someone to sponsor it 
into Debian. Assuming that it has a DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) 
compliant license and it's packaged right, someone should be willing to
do that.
