Very strange.  I simply did the same as you and got the debian/ dir.  To
make sure you will not stumble upon some strange proxy or whatever
problem I simply commited and pushed what I got.  Hope this helps. ;-)

BTW, there is no real requirement to use this template.  May be in this
specific case you just checkout the debian/ dir from the package
suitename that is strongly related and my be a better starting point.

There is no such bug report yet.  The only occurance of probe in the
Debian context I'm aware of is the discussion on our mailing list
starting here:

   https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2015/07/msg00158.html
 
It is up to you to create an ITP bug report as maintainer.

I also recommend to discuss a proper name for this software here since a
package with name probe will never be accepted since it is to generic.

Feel free to keep on asking here and thanks for working on this
package

       Andreas.
