You should not start with fresh packages. We have processes for managing this
situation:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#mia-qa
The current package is maintained in git already at
<http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-cinnamon/cinnamon.git>. I haven't
checked but in an ideal world your repository would be a clone of this, to make
eventual harmonisation easier.
