Hi,

we'd need a debian/ directory for it. Cross-check with any of the
other PG packages to see how it could (should) look like. The
server-side extensions are based on pg_buildext:

https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/postgresql-server-dev-all/pg_buildext.1.en.html

If you don't need to build separate per-PG-major binaries, it's a bit
easier, and pretty much standard:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/

Ideally, the package would be uploaded to Debian and
apt.postgresql.org in parallel. (I can do the necessary sponsoring.)
The debian/ directory could be in the same repository, in the same or
a different branch, or a completely different repo.

I'll gladly help you with any questions you might have (or whoever
gets to do the packaging).

Cheers,
Christoph
