Before beginning the work to package something new in Debian, you need to file an ITP bug report[0] to signal your intent to others early, help prevent doubling up on work, and allow input from others[1]. The ITP bug report should be closed by the first release of your package (by using the “Closes: Bug#NNNNN” syntax in the ‘debian/changelog’ entry for that release[2]), so that when it enters Debian the ITP bug will be closed. Have you already filed the ITP bug report for this package? If not, you need to do that before proceeding.
