I've produced an application and I have turned it into a Debian style package - a .deb file. It was available on GetDeb when that was going and got downloaded a lot.
I have since carefully satisfied all the Debian file requirements I can think of, signed up for Debian Mentors and hoped for a sponsor/mentor without success. Am I going about this the right way? I am wondering whether perhaps I am trying to get into Debian at a high level suitable for essential packages, when it may be possible to submit my rather less significant package where it might only get into Ubuntu at a lower level.
I have also been assisting the author of another application which would otherwise only be available for Windows and macOS by providing a deb for it. He would like to do the same for his application, he says "Can we include it in the official release?". I would like to be able to give him some advice/help, but despite spending days reading Debian documentation to find out whether my approach is wrong, I haven't got any further, I find the links in the endless documentation just took me round in circles and eventually back to the first document.
