The first step is to update the machinery under the get-orig-source target of debian/rules, in order to get a new orig tarball. And the most painful part is to deal with all the minified javascript that is spread across the various translators, and which are problematic from a DFSG perspective. See debian/source/lintian-overrides and the files under debian/missing-sources/*. This is a grunt work that has to be updated with every new release; I did not check if there is much to update for the 5.0 release. I hope you are still motivated to do the work after having looked at this :) Ideally I would also like to move the package under the Debian Science Team umbrella, because team maintenance is always better. But this can be postponed if it complicates things for you (e.g. if you're not already in the Debian Science team on Alioth). Please feel free to update the repository (possibly on a new branch if you are not confident enough). I will be happy to sponsor your work once it is ready (I understand that you are a DM and not yet a DD).
