i did not mention anything about building a derivative of debian. i requested a package under debian with an added request to have it brought into the default debian repository.
In that case, first step will be RFP (Request for Packaging)[1] (if you want someone to work on it) or ITP (Intent to package)[2] request as a bug (so, duplicate efforts can be avoided).
`reportbug` tool can be used to quickly file such requests. Once requested, ITP, you can probably start work on Debian's Git repository (salsa.debian.org) after getting access to it and ask for review. Some Debian Developer or Maintainer can review the work and will be happily upload the package if everything is OK.
i don't have the time and inclination to do this myself, hence my first request to the list.
if you can do this, in paid capacity, you're welcome to give it a shot, else please read the original mail carefully before shooting off tangential replies.
