Lately I've been using the debputy tool to do that: - `apt install dh-debputy` - add X-Style: black to the source stanza of the debian/control file - `debputy reformat` Of course, as with any opinionated formatting tool, every now and then the authors change the formatting style, but in my experience this happens very, very rarely with debputy.
