Hi

Thanks for your interest in contributing to Debian.

Could you include some more information about this package?  What is it
(copying from the description/synopsis is okay)?  What is your
motivation for the packaging etc.  Why is it (done as) an NMU
(Non-Maintainer Upload)?

The two former will help you get the attention of reviewers (and
potential sponsors) and the last one... most likely they will ask you that.
  Even if most of this information is readily available through various
links and in the package itself, it saves reviewers / sponsors time as
they can quickly determine if they can review the package or if we have
a relevant team that could do it.
