You might find it helpful to read https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide and 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UpstreamGuide which both contain valuable information 
intended for software developers. After you have released your software with a 
free license, you can either file RFP-report if you do not want to maintain 
your software in Debian or an ITP report if you plan on maintaining the Debian 
package as well. (https://wiki.debian.org/RFP and https://wiki.debian.org/ITP)

If you have any questions you can also hop on irc.freenode.net, channel 
#ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-packaging to get more information.
