For new emacs related binary packages, I recommend using dh_elpa and the
elpa-* namespace.
You can find an example at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianEmacsenTeam/elpa-hello?highlight=%28dh_elpa%29
presumably you'd want to keep the maintainer as Debian Science team

Feel free to send mail to debian-emac...@lists.debian.org (or join
#debian-emacs on oftc) for help.
