everything in the "Packaging" section on that page is useful.
in particular:
the debian policy manual. answers all those "what is the Debian Way
(and why)?" questions. even though the title includes "policy", you
really *must* read this:
http://www.au.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
and the new maintainers guide. basically worked examples, very
similar to my "talk":
http://www.au.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/
if you're actually becoming a maintainer, then the developers'
reference is also good for "what is the correct procedure for.."
http://www.au.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/
these documents are also available as .deb packages, if you want them
installed locally.
the "hello" and "hello-debhelper" packages are also good examples
(thats their point).
