You may. Actually "my" packages have already been published in Debian. 
I'm one of the upstream authors of Finnish spell-checking system Voikko 
(small part of it). Voikko's upstream developers maintained early 
Debian packages in purpose to help us to test the software and gain 
more testers from larger audience. For some time those packages were 
for end users too.

Now Timo Jyrinki is maintaining the official Debian and Ubuntu packages 
for Voikko (see aptitude search '~mjyrinki'). To help testing we still 
have the Debian-specific data in Voikko's upstream svn repositories. So 
those are the unofficial "packages" I still maintain. Timo Jyrinki is 
keeping touch with us and does a great job in spreading Voikko around 
Debian and Ubuntu world. Thanks Timo if you're reading this. :)
