I somehow understood you so. Do you possibly even have such a package already? It would then start with the bug report you mentioned, ITP in Debian lingo, with 'reportbug wnpp' and following the instructions.
Feel free contacting me (or the list) for questions on the packaging itself. One of the next steps, if not been there already, is to apply for membership with the debian-science project on alioth.debian.org. This grants you write access to the Debian-Science repository so you find external help by group maintenance easily.
