so the packages you maintain were something you initially had an interest in, made some contributions, and then just grew from there?
Yeah. I had some uncommon, buggy hardware that the package group supported and I helped debugging and testing fixes to it.

Things are added to Debian when they meet the DFSG and are useful to whoever packages and maintains them, so at least one Debian developer thought it was cool. You can probably search “Debian ITP package-name” so see the mailing list discussion around it.
