First of all: 

 Debian New Maintainer Guide (http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/) 
  if you want to maintain packages.

All other things are covered normally here:
 https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DeveloperResources

If you need advice for packaging or coding stuff, join #ubuntu-devel or 
#ubuntu-motu @irc.freenode.net

The rest is, learning by doing, 
apt-get source <your learning package> and study the sources. it gives you a 
nice overview about how things are done, how different the maintainers are 
working.

After all, I started to write a tutorial on 
https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowToBuildDebianPackagesFromScratch

for doing a debian package from scratch. well I need to find the time to 
finish it.
