You might also want to read the debian-mentors FAQ section on
packaging.  In addition to the maint-guide, it points you to both the
Debian Wiki and Debian Women websites on beginning packaging, along
with pointing you to Debian Policy, which will help if you get overly
technical questions.

As always, you can feel free to ask on the mailing list.
