But nothing more than that.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.
the "dch -i" command will update the revision and put your information in debian/changelog for you and leave you in your default editor so that you can write in your changelog information.
