Hi Michael,
Nice to see your effort! Welcome to the team!
Your next step would to have someone review your package. You can
upload your package to mentors.debian.net and pass link to your dsc
file as a reply.
As the team uses git repo for its packaging work, you may put your
packaging in a git repo instead of uploading to mentors and pass the
git repo url here.
Incidently this is also a dependency for diaspora, which some of us
are trying to package for debian. You can see our notes at
http://piratepad.net/tu0H1eU2vH for more details on packaging gems.
You may also come online at #debian-diaspora on irc.oftc.net. We
usually meet at 4.30 pm GMT to discuss, many of those who join in are
also new to debian packaging.
Looking forward to reviewing your packaging. Thanks for your contribution.
Cheers
Praveen

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
