And you can look at how the packages are already done in debian (using
apt-get source or the svn at http://pkg-xfce.alioth.debian.org/ ).
Packages aren't all consistent, some use debhelper < 7, some use cdbs,
some user debhelper 7. But you can find some info, and don't hesitate to
ask us on the pkg-xfce mailing list or the irc chan.

(oh, btw, if at one point you're interested to help in debian (in “real
debian”) packaging, you'd be gladly welcome.

Cheers,
