As you already have some experience with Debian packaging, you'll
probably want to start here:

    http://mentors.debian.net/

There are two Python teams within Debian: one for applications (PAPT),
and one for modules (PMPT). Here is the wiki page for the PAPT:

    https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonAppsPackagingTeam

Among the links listed there, the policy is an important read:

    http://python-apps.alioth.debian.org/policy.html

Finally, it's best to join the #debian-python and #debian-mentors IRC
channels on OFTC, where people are usually quite helpful.

Christian
