More or less, not all of my posting applies to upgrading packages
(it's easier than writing new ones).
Still, you _might_ need to learn 'quilt' to add/change patches, update
debian/watch, update the dependencies, build with svn-buildpackage (or
convert to git and use git-buildpackage), update the copyright,
convert to new Standards-Version etc.
This is not too much to read and covers many useful things:
