Since you address me explicitly:

Sorry, I will not (at the moment, at least) take time to guide you in 
detail on the basics of packaging and using Alioth.  I am involved in 
many exciting projects already, and I might help out with your needs 
here too, but don't count on it.

Please read http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia - and especially
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging - and if you 
still need help then please do seek it more generally, both at this list 
(without addressing me in particular) and at other parts of the larger 
Debian community.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
