Before learning about git-buildpackage and pristine-tar things, I just
worked out a procedure on my own that does roughly the same. Specifically, I
run debuild in a project dir that comes from tar xJf aghermann-1.x.x.tar.xz
that comes from make dist-xz. The .orig.tar.xz is the same as the latter,
debloated of autotools files that are subsequently regenerated by
db_autoconf. The debian/* files are manually copied into the dir where
debuild is run. No git is involved, even though the upstream uses git
alright.
That's my own bike, and as long as Yaroslav was fine with the
package I would post for him to do dget from, it worked. Truth be told, he
duly encouraged me to throw away my bike and go with the official policy, but
somehow I kept putting the learning hour off. Now it's time to do just that,
it seems.

That one is trivial to fix.
So Andreas, please don't bother, I'll read up on the policy and fix my repo
and ping you again.
