I don't know whether this is relevant to what you are asking, but: > Main packaging Delta from upstream Tools for manipulating > git branch represented as delta from upstream, > contains building .dsc, etc. > > Unmodified debian/patches gbp, gbp pq > upstream files, (only) quilt / dquilt > plus debian/* Manual patch editing > incl. d/patches This could cover two very IMO different cases -- The git repository is a clone of the upstream development repository, incorporating its full development history (and perhaps sharing "existence" with the upstream development), or the git repository incorporates only the content of upstream released tarballs (i.e. via gbp / pristine-tar). The packaging workflow is quite different between those cases. Greetings,
