I think that would be great.  I have been doing some downstream work in Ubuntu 
because I was the SPF guy that was packaging stuff for Ubuntu.  When it comes 
to C programs, my knowledge is very minimal and I, for one, would be grateful 
to have someone upstream in Debian maintaining the package.

I do know from working with building the package that the clean rules aren't 
getting the job done (building in pbuilder has worked best for me).  

Here are the changes I've made in Ubuntu that will be in the next release and 
that I'd recommend for Debian (Debian BTS url is also supplied if I have it):

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspf2/+bug/79683
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306875


https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspf2/+bug/65952
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=392793
Note that the debian/rules file in this patch does not have the changes for 
the update-alterative changes in 306875, so the debian/rules changes for 
these two fixes have to be merged.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspf2/+bug/92569
This one is not in BTS yet.
