Are you looking to take over Debian packaging?  That would be great!

I am learning to package it so I could potentially take over maintaining it once I get used to packaging

    The Debian maintainer for LMMS was MIA last I knew, so Debian will be
    stuck at 0.4.10 until someone can update it.
    Ubuntu specific:
    When a new release of LMMS comes out, it will automatically be checked
    out by launchpad when I point the package to look at the GitHub stable
    branch.  So when the next release comes along, if it is before feature
    freeze, I can get the new version into Ubuntu.  If a new version comes
    along after a release, you will have to use/make a ppa.
     ESPECIALLY for
    LTS.  Those are *very* hard to get new packages in, although possible,
    but usually only security fixes (with exception to certain programs,
    like Firefox)
