First thing to do is a fair bit of reading. Have you tried doing any packaging already? http://www.debian.org/devel/ From that page, you must read the Policy Manual, Developers Reference and the New Maintainer Guide. It's often good to work with an orphaned package whilst going through these guides. http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/welcome Probably the easiest way to get started is actually to triage some of the bugs outstanding against orphaned packages. Try to reproduce the problems, add comments to those bugs which you can't reproduce. There isn't going to be a lot of advice on this list, the best place for packaging advice is: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/ I don't have time to sponsor uploads, so I can't help much more than point you at other places where you can ask questions and find out how things work.
