1) You should tell us where to get the complete source package (.dsc,
   .diff.gz, .orig.tar.gz, also see #2)
2) wmnetmon is no native Debian package, so you should definately supply
   a non-native source package. To do so, simply put the original
   (upstream) source tarball at the directory above the source root and
   name it wmnetmon_0.2p6.orig.tar.gz, dpkg-buildpackage will do the
   rest for you.
3) run "lintian -i wmnetmon_*.dsc" and "linda -i wmnetmon_*.dsc" and fix
   all the warnings. If you had done so, I wouldn't have had to tell you
   about #2.
4) Read the new maintainers guide, it tells you all of the above (and
   more).

Good luck finding a sponsor though, I can't sponsor anyway as I'm no DD yet.
