I had a go at packaging 0.13 based on the Ubuntu packaging info, but
never got round to publishing it.  Some things you might want to keep
in mind:

1. since the last Ubuntu packaged release, Storm contains a C
extension so the package should not be architecture independent any
more.

2. I had a problem with it packaging the C extension source code in
the resulting packages.  Commenting out the setuptools bits from
setup.py solved this problem.  I never pursued this any further since
I'd heard of many other setuptools / debian packaging related
nightmares.

3. While the packaging tools are fine with .tar.bz2 orig tarballs,
Soyuz hates them.  This one probably isn't a problem for submitting
things to Debian though.

Other than that, it should be pretty easy to get a new package working.
