Looks like an "overlay"-layout (debian/-only approach). I'd suggest to fork the repository, download the tarball to some directory using apt-get source -d, and create .git/gbp.conf enabling the overlay layout, setting debian-dir to "sid" or using ignore-branch, and possibly defining tarball-dir. E.g. https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/ruby-jekyll-titles-from-headings/-/blob/debian/sid/debian/gbp.conf Then you can use `gbp buildpackage` to export the source, work in it, create patches, add those patches to git (I'd like to see `gbp pq` handle this layout though - it would make things a lot easier). Then create a merge request. To be honest there are different layouts, but just a few. IMHO one can easily learn them. I haven't seen anything unusable with git-buildpackage yet.
