The first question to ask is, is the packaging done by the previous
maintainer ok? If it is more or less what you want that's a different
situation to a bunch of debian files that are wrong.
If I was happy about how the package was, then just edit the control and
changelogs and off you go.
Also a rough rule of thumb is that upstream debian files are wrong.
That's a gross generalisation but one I'd start with (ie treat the
upstream debian files with caution)
