If you are reading this from a Debian source package, you can stop now;
this package should build normally after extracting with dpkg-source -x.
The rest of this file gives some hints about generating source packages
from the packaging git repository.
This repository has patches to upstream source included in the packaging
branch. In order to generate a source package, you have several choices:
To generate an old-style single patch package, you can use dpkg-source or
e.g. gitpkg without any special preparation (with the possible exception
of adding "single-debian-patch" to debian/source/local-options).
In order to have patches exported individually at source package creation
time, you can enable git-debcherry. After installing gitpkg-0.25 or later,
see /usr/share/gitpkg/hooks/debcherry-deb-export-hook and its associated
documentation in the gitpkg(1) and git-debcherry(1) man pages.
The main development branch is debian/sid, with corresponding branches for
backports to previous releases. Tagging follows upstream's naming
convention, so the first Debian upload of the upstream tag vX.Y.Z should
be tagged vX.Y.Z-1.
