Fix any bugs, update the package to the newest debian-policy, package
newer upstream releases, ... and enjoy stepping in the wonderful world
of Debian packaging! :)
Note that you will need to read some documentation about packaging and
about Debian procedures; it's too time consuming to guide you through
all steps in detail via debian-mentors. The documentation is very
complete, so if you read the documents with your full attention, you
should find your way to what to do.

You are completely free to choose what interests you most. For a new
maintainer, it might be easier to adopt a simple orphaned package, add a
small fix (for example, add a manpage), and get it uploaded in Debian
via a sponsor. Now you might ask, what's a sponsor? Well, that's
documented too. :) Reading is gooood. :)
