 To maintain a package, you must follow a set of step as described in this

 However, if you want, I could help you to maintain the package for debían,
 I'm not a DD  but I have been packing for a long time.  We could do it
 together because in debian, A package can have multiple maintainers :)

Daniel, aiccu has Debian packaging information in the upstream (SixXS,
our) source archives since it's inception and first releases[1], as
well, we are heavy Debian users ourselves for a too long time, thus we
know how to package things quite well ;)

We also where informed that several DD's are very willing to mentor
uploads of aiccu into Debian thus thanks for the offer, but that base is
also covered.

Thus the only (ahem, it is not that easy) thing to do now is to
finalize the next aiccu version, go again through all the bug trackers
to see what is left and resolve those matters and then to test it on all
platforms, push it to github as we have stated and release the next version.

Greets,
 Jeroen

Hi,

We (SixXS), who are heavy Debian users ourselves for years and more
importantly for this, the authors of aiccu, are very willing to take
over the packaging details and bug tracking  resolving portions for aiccu.

We are in the process of finalizing the long long overdue of minor fixes
but more importantly a lot of new features for AICCU that have been
added since the last release and pushing our full repo to:
 https://github.com/SixXS/aiccu

to make the AICCU development process a lot more open and transparent by
making use of the various features that github offers (git repo, bug
tracker, patch integration etc).

From that repo we'll be releasing new versions of AICCU and the (Debian)
packages associated with it. We'll also push these to mentors.debian.net
so that those changes can directly be integrated into Debian and Ubuntu
by a mentor who is willing to accept them.

Greets,
 Jeroen
