Jordan,
Welcome to Debian packaging!
There are a set of instructions that will be helpful as you work on your first package:
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/[1]
Even though you are packaging a Python app, there are still a number of additional things
needed to turn it into a proper Debian package. For example, you need a debian/copyright
file, a debian/control file, and a debian/rules file among other things.
One of the packages I maintain is Electrum, which is also a Python app. You can get some
sense of how to do it by looking at my packaging repository on Salsa (Debian’s GitLab
server):
https://salsa.debian.org/cryptocoin-team/electrum/-/tree/master/debian[2]
You might also want to subscribe to the Debian Python mailing list:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/[3]

Hello Debian Mentors. I would like to apologize in advance if this is
not the correct protocol. I am trying to follow the instructions as best
as I can.
I was wondering if there was anyone willing to sponsor my first debian package on to the apt repositories.
Package Info
The package is a Python app called CraftServerSetup that allows the user
to create and manage game servers for the popular video game Minecraft.
As a result of the app's choice in programming language, it does not
need any building or compiling at all (so I have it as a binary deb file right from the start).
On the "New Packager's Guide" page I saw something about requesting
sponsors with a certain skillset..?
For that, I don't care very much. Just someone who is willing to upload
the deb files to apt.
Once again, I am very sorry if this is not what I am supposed to do.
Thank you
