Ok. Then if you would like to maintain the debian port, read the new 
maintainers guide and discuss any questions on the debian-mentors mailing 
list.

If you are looking for somebody else to package your game plese use the 
command:
reportbug wnpp
choosing 5 for RFP (request for package)
In the message indicate that you are the upsteam maintainer. That might 
increase the odds of your package being accepted because the debian 
maintainer will know that upstream supports the port. (That can sometimes be 
a problem with relatively unheard of packages.)
