I'm using debuild -us -uc, as suggested on the packaging guide.
I have put it in debian/rules indeed.
Here is the content of the file:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@ --with autoreconf,autotools_dev
dh_installchangelogs

That looks quite simple already.

The base idea was that I would work on the package to have a good base
for you guys to be able to finalize the package, since I don't know how
all this thing works and it's very time consuming for me. I'm not
against being the primary maintainer, but I'm also not against not being
the primary writer of the package since I'll probably do it wrong and
you'll do it faster.
Anybody wants to take a look and finish to packaging Siril?
Thanks in advance
