To request a new package you must use reportbug to create a bug against the 
fake package "wnpp".

Then you must choose RFP and hope that someone will be interested to package 
it.

Otherwise you can open an ITP and package it yourself, and then ask for a 
sponsor to upload it.

In general the idea is that the debian/ directory isn't part of your project.

What I usually do is that I keep it on the same repository as the project, but 
the .tar.gz doesn't include it, so dpkg doesn't know I keep it there.

You should probably start here: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian

Packages are built with dpkg-buildpackage.
