The basic question is - what shall we do to get the packages built from new repositories into Debian/Ubuntu?
I am already looking at those new repositories and there will be packages soon ...
Is there something we (upstream) can do, to facilitate the process?
As maintaining the copyright information in debian/copyright is the most boring task of a maintainer, maybe you can take over this? :-)
Are there some notable .deb-specific patches you'd like to see merged?
No, I didn't encounter any strange stuff you do yet, so I don't expect any patches in this regard. Thus, some time ago I already started to submit patches to some other repositories for stuff that lintian complains about ...
Should I have used some other channel to communicate instead of emails I've fetched from changelogs?
No, from my point of view this is totally fine.
