Hi,
If help is not forthcoming, you can get a wider audience for the packaging request by asking the Debian community: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ look for RFP -- wishlist This is a "Request For Package". Someone has found an interesting piece of software and would like someone else to maintain it for Debian. Please submit a package description along with copyright and URL in such a report.
Having said that, is there a tarball that one can have a look at to see what effort would be needed to create a policy compliant Debian package?
