Porting packages from debian to launchpad ppa is really easy with 
git-buildpackage, example with pd-bassemu:

--8<--
git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/pd-bassemu.git
cd pd-bassemu/debian
dch -i
cd ..
git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new -S -sa
cd ..
dput ppa:claudiusmaximus/ppa pd-bassemu_0.3-1~ppa1~lucid1_source.changes
cd pd-bassemu/debian
dch -i
cd ..
git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new -S -sa
cd ..
dput ppa:claudiusmaximus/ppa pd-bassemu_0.3-1~ppa1~maverick1_source.changes
--8<--
