Before you do that:
- note that there is software that probably can't be packaged:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=203211
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=201734
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=232658
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301491
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=274003
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=321793
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=178062
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=321797
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319860
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323704
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=149568
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=298763
[...]
AFAIK, if they are not DFSG-compliant (or depend it) they should be
listed here:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/unable-to-package
- also note that there is software that waits some other software to get in:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=195236
- popular software with status unknown:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=113238
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=247337
[...]
- software that should be packaged because it's good and popular:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=200984
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=78209
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=255850
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=188153
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=246244
[...]
- software you should talk about:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=131404
It's good idea.
