There is a trivial example on the wiki
https://wiki.debian.org/EmacsenTeam/elpa-hello
Below I've attached a diff for a rough conversion. The resulting package
has an (unrelated I think) error about doc-base, and it needs the
corresponding transitional package (and probably a few other details
documented in the wiki page above). I aimed for a minimal patch, rather
than the nicest possible package (i.e. no conversion to dh).
A couple of notes
- the file lisp/ess-package.el is used by dh_elpa / package.el to
extract metadata from the package. This means
+ I had to change the version number from 0 (this is a newly
discovered bug in dh_elpa). It's nicer, but not mandatory for that
version to track the upstream version.
+ I removed the dependency on julia-mode, since your sources include
julia-mode, and elpa-julia-mode doesn't (yet) exist in debian.
- The package still uses sed, but now seds the source in place.
