By which yould you like to start with (I don't think it's good to work on both at the same time) ? In my humble opinion, it's maybe better to start with modifying an existing package, that would be pxljr. For pxljr, the first task would be to "Contact the current Ubuntu maintainers to ask them if they would be interested in (co-)maintaining the package directly in Debian". Would you be ready to draft a mail to the current Ubuntu maintainer (Till Kamppeter), asking him what his opinions are ? Although note that in any case, importing the past Ubuntu uploads into a git repository, hosted on alioth.debian.org, is a good thing to do; this helps reviewing past and future changes. Can you do that (hint: bzr-fastexport should help) ? (You can start in a private git repository stored elsewhere before pushing it to the "official" location.) Once we have Till's answer and the past source packages in a git repository, we'll be ready for the needed changes to get it uploaded to Debian (in any case, we need an ITP bug, e.g.). Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have! Cheers, OdyX, who is happy to have found someone. N.B. I CC'ed you on my answer, contrary to the Debian lists netiquette (which assumes that no copies are wanted). Are you subscribed to debian-printing or do you want explicit copies each time (which you should state explicitely each time) ?
