Sounds good.

It wants to be an ITP though.

For the description have a read of:

This shouldn't start with "A" but rather "task" (given the above
guidelines).  I wonder if this wants "GUI" in it too?

Not sure what you mean by "finished" and "proceed" on this last line.

I think you probably want to put "* Send KILL, TERM, STOP or CONT
signals" instead.

What's your alioth account?
Have you looked at our SVN at all?  You'll want to just upload the
debian/ dir and then use svn-buildpackage.

You can see some details at:
http://pkg-xfce.alioth.debian.org/ under Package building and at
http://pkg-xfce.alioth.debian.org/doc/Goodies-Packaging-HOWTO
