You need to read the "Debian New Maintainers' Guide" [1] and
the "Debian Policy Manual and related documents" [2]: "Debian
Developer's Reference" [3], is another good document to read.
debhelper [4] scripts are your friends and will help you in creating
packages; debconf [5] is a valuable tool to offer a friendly interface
to configure the package (whenever you need to prompt for any question).
Reed their documentation.
You need the PGP/GPG key only to sign your package or eventually become
a Debian Developer.
If you have more specific questions, ask them here on this list or on
the IRC channel #debian on irc.debian.org.
http://www.debian.org/devel may have more information.
