Are they packaged for Debian now?

A package sponsor helps a maintainer by taking their *already-packaged*
work and confirming it's done well, then uploading it to Debian.

The actual work of packaging the work for Debian must be done by someone
(or more) who takes on the role of maintainer for that package.

All of that needs to be done before you seek a sponsor for the package.

At <URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/> you'll find links to the Debian New
Maintainers' Guide and the Debian Developer's Reference. The package
maintainer(s) will need to read and know those documents.

Thanks for your interest in improving Debian.
