That would be a good project to learn Debian packaging from. I have a home built version of Woody/Sarge dcc which I recently updated to 1.3.92 and rebuilt for Etch. As I recall the only significant change needed was to update the copyright to reflect non-free upstream copyright. I use it very successfully with Debian SpamAssassin. You could update the packaging to Lenny standards and check if it complies with Policy 3.8.0 (the previous version was at least three years ago).
