I would suggest having a look at

  http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/

The first 3-4 articles should give you an overview, help you get set up
and show you how to fix bugs, if that's what you're interested in.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
