Thanks for getting in touch. In my reply, I'm assuming you are not a Debian Developer or Debian Maintainer yet.
As explained on [0], your next step would be to join the Debian Med team on Alioth and then to request access the source code repository.
One you've uploaded your source package, we can have a look at it and provide feedback/suggestions.
At some point, assuming that everything is in a good enough shape, one of the Debian Developers on the team will be able to upload your package to Unstable, which will then find it's way into the Testing/Stable repos of Debian, and Ubuntu (as you mention precise).
Please also do subscribe to the Debian Med mailing list [1].
Let us know if you need help joining the team, or when the package is ready for review.
