 - take the Maverick package as a start
 - remove the ubuntu parts, and make it conform to Debian policy and Debian
   Python policy
 - make the version 0.5.1-1, which is higher than the Maverick version, so
   it will upgrade it, and find a friendly sponsor (sadly not me)
 - it will flow through to ubuntu in a sync

That's a *broad* summary, all the usual packaging rules will apply.
