Thanks for the advice. If I could though, I'd appreciate one
clarification:

This launchpad page https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading
describes using dput to upload, and states that it uploads 3 files:
*.dsc, *.changes, and *.diff.gz... that confused me, as that makes it
sound like I can't upload the *.deb file I've already constructed with
debhelper/dpkg... is this correct, or do I actually upload the .deb
package, and dput just *additionally* uploads those other files as well?
