Debian status: I am in the NM and also a Debian Maintainer.
See my QA page for all packages that I maintain or comaintain. Feel free to fix and upload any of my packages (I am listed in the Low Threshold NMU), I keep all of them maintained as part of the respective team (see below), because I believe that is the way to go.

Some notes regarding packaging in Debian below.
force dpkg override
Typical situation:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/AAA (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/BBB', which is also in package CCC dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: AAA E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
(where AAA,BBB,CCC are placeholder names, in case it wasn’t clear) do
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/AAA
and then run apt-get -f install again.
how to deal with patches
Use quilt. Follow the tutorial on Holger's webpage.

Build using (with -j5):
git-buildpackage --git-builder="pdebuild --debbuildopts '-I.git -i\.git -j5'" --git-cleaner="fakeroot debian/rules clean" --git-ignore-new
