Thanks for wanting to step in!
I believe this is the document one's supposed to read on this:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
I saw you made some commits to the existing packaging Git
repository, so thats a good start.
"Mentors" is a great place to get help and get your package reviewed
by existing DDs. They also have additional introduction info:
https://mentors.debian.net
Maybe also check by #debian-mentors on IRC.
Given you also filed #981608, is the solution in there enough?
I don't use ledgersmb myself, but it'd be bad for it to fall out of
Debian.
Chris
