As far back as when I became a member there were steps for uploading a package.
first check wnpp
if not there then send mail to debial-devel (and cc wnpp) and state your
ITP.
that still applies...except the mail to debian-devel is reversed...you now
submit a bug to wnpp and cc debian-devel...
all of this is explained on the wnpp web site (which the old *stable* developers
refernce refers you to *and* the Debian web site referes you to) and all of
this has been discussed on debian-devel.
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/developers-reference/ch-upload.html#s6.1
hmmm..what else...
There is plenty of information out there...the point here is that there
was nothing on debian-devel and nothing in the wnpp...this is because the
original mails went out last year sometime..(probably about 6 months ago)...
This particular case was more of a *drop the ball in all the confusion* type
of deal.
