Thank you for taking the time to plan this, and for your work to get
good free software in Debian.

The existing Upstream Guide is targeted to assist people developing
works that may be wanted in Debian (we call these people and/or projects
the “upstream” for that work). It gives extensive guidelines for how to
make a work that will integrate well into Debian.
<URL:https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide>
I haven't read your proposal in depth, but wanted to direct you to that
guide as a good resource you should read and be familiar with.
