take your time I'd suggest to understand what is maintained where.
The upstream OpenTelemetry packages are quite fractured to my impression 
and the git trees are very often more a collection of libraries that 
should from Debian perspective live in different VCS trees.

It took me I think more than three months to sort out things while I did 
work on python-opentelemetry to get all needed information for the 
packages I wanted to have and write into a proper control file.

The Git tree contains a lot of the source for various libraries and 
packages. It takes time to understand how these different project are 
related to each other, if they are. :-)
But I think this is somehow important to know to not fall into some trap 
later due version number constraints e.g as unfortunately also in this 
git tree various versions are used in these projects.

Once you think you understand enough then you can dive into the Debian 
packaging as some maybe in the future introduced binary packages from 
the same source need get included into the build.
I want to say that d/rules needs to get constructed flexible enough to 
get this later handled easily. Then start with the easiest to package 
project.
