Hi Marcos, first note that the utnubu team is currently non functional, but I can try to answer your questions anyways.

I think what you should do is take their source package, increase the version number to the next "debian style", so in this case 0.9.4-1 instead of 0.9.4-0ubuntu1, by adding a changelog entry, but leaving their changelog entries in tact. Then proceed with the upload as usual (using mentors.debian.org or your personal sponsor).
