Hi, In order for a package to be included in debian, a maintainer is needed. They will need to test the package on debian's unstable (development) distribution, and ensure it complies with debian's policy[1] (since it's possible that a package may work in ubuntu but not in debian for whatever reason, actual testing on debian is needed) If they are an official debian developer... well, they'll know what to do from there. Otherwise, they'll need to find a mentor on the debian-mentors[2] list, who will review the package, suggest any needed improvements, and eventually upload it to debian. For more information on the process see [3].
