OK, so good news is I succeeded in creating a package.
However, I'm not sure the sources are imported correctly, because
upstream does not distribute complete tarballs [1], only the git uri,
which contains submodules [2].
I had to fight and re-create a tarball from the git - if someone knows
a better solution please tell me.
Also, the package will only be very lightly tested (it passes 'make
check' and some basic tests here).

I built the package for 0.9.2 here, and uploaded the packaging tree to
salsa (https://salsa.debian.org/pollux/sbsigntool). This repo is a
temporary one, for import into team repo, and/or reviews.
If the package is fine, I'll upload it (for ex tomorrow).

[1] lib/ccan is missing from the git tarball
[2] gbp import-orig with upstream git uri fails because of lib/ccan not
imported (submodule)
