If you just want your package in Debian you need a sponsor who uploads your package for you.

Re: review: qstardict (Re: Advocate needs)
Thank you! You're the upstream author; why don't you include the manpage upstream instead of in the .diff.gz? I realize that manpages for graphical programs are difficult to write well. Does your program accept keystrokes? Does it have any other help file? I don't include manpage into program sources because it doesn't accept any command line options. Is debian/dirs really necessary? It's probably best if this is handled by upstream install scripts, and debian foo used only as a fallback. Your changelog has two Initial release entries. The second should (by convention) instead read New upstream release.. Since you're the upstream author you can include sub-bullets with the major changes for that release.
