yes, it's a lot of knowledge you need to learn. But system maintenance
isn't easy mostly, so don't worry to much. Every existing Debian
Developer was needing to learn this before being an experienced
developer. ;)

Can you please share a git tree which holds your work? Than we can talk
and discuss possible issues.
