I created packages for my driver:

deb http://sloth.voxel.net/~dilinger/ndiswrapper-rtl8180/ ./
deb-src http://sloth.voxel.net/~dilinger/ndiswrapper-rtl8180/ ./

I'm upgrading to the new ndiswrapper (0.8) now, the "proper" way (using 
make-kpkg modules_image).  Have you found a sponsor?  If not, and if I 
don't see any major problems w/ the package, I'll ask some DDs if they'd 
sponsor.
