Packaging new library very similar to another library

[Aaron Boxer <boxerab@gmail.com>]

Hello!

I maintain an image compression library

https://github.com/GrokImageCompression/grok

which is very similar to an existing package in debian:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openjpeg

I would like to package my library and add it to debian - can I re-use the packaging from OpenJPEG to do that ?

Thank you!
