Debian has a *huge*  amount of quality documentation.

For packaging:

    http://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian

The New Maintainers Guide:

    http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/

The developers reference:

    http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/

One section in the reference is about adopting a package:

   http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#adopting

Of course all of these are pretty easy to find using Google :-).
