This is a great direction Dave. I am just starting a similar journey myself with a view to becoming a Debian packager in multimedia distros. There is a lot to learn. Stay on it..
I started here http://www.debian.org/devel/ and went right back to basics with a full revision of http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ aiming towards a thorough understanding of http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ so when something is missing/ not working, it's possible to go through the proper steps to put it into the repo.
