Usually there is more to it than that, since upstream authors are not
usually too worried about conforming to Debian policy, but rather
working on fixing bugs and getting new versions of their software
released.  You could start by asking upstream to provide Debian source
packages, and perhaps ask them if they are willing to maintain the
package in Debian, or consider maintaining it yourself if they are not
interested.

All the best,

David
