Just for the record, it does not.

rene@frodo:~/rene@frodo:~/Debian/Pakete/LibreOffice/libreoffice/libreoffice-25.2.0.3$ gbp buildpackage

gbp:error: /home/rene/Debian/Pakete/LibreOffice/libreoffice/libreoffice-25.2.0.3 is not a git repository


doing it in debian/:


rene@frodo:~/Debian/Pakete/LibreOffice/libreoffice/libreoffice-25.2.0.3/debian$ gbp buildpackage --git-ignore-new
gbp:error: Can't determine package type: Failed to read changelog: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './debian/changelog'

That is not a debian/-only repository, it has a README.md in  there and then a debian/ subdir.

debian/ only-repository here means that the content in debian/ is in git and debian is the git checkout.

(upstreams tarballs extracted + git checkout ... debian)


Here the example is (obviously) https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice
