Ehm, the first step is to read the fundamental documentation: Debian policy, developers reference, new maintainer guide.

I'll contact the upstream maintainer about that.

It depends if you want to see those bugs fixed for the lenny package: if so, upload a new Debian revision with the bugs fixed and ask release managers to unblock your package; it not, then simply package the next upstream release and upload to unstable.
