Hi Ben,
it mostly boils down to updating package whenever new yt version is 
released and fixing debian specific bugs if they pop up. My whole 
knowledge about debian packaging is based on

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianAstro/AstropyPackagingTutorial/Preparation

and references therein.
Cheers,
Kacper
