Ahh, may be you are interested in joining the Electronics team?

This team is maintaining the following packages:

As further reading I could recommend the Debian Med team policy
featuring some general links about Debian packaging in the first
paragraphs.

   https://med-team.pages.debian.net/policy/

Here are some more hints in Debian Wiki.

   https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/autopkgtest
   https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/AutopkgtestBestPractices

For more detailed hints we need more information what *exactly* you
tried, like

   git clone foo
   your changes
   gbp buildpackage
   what is the output

Just explain what exactly is your stumbling stone to enable us helping
you over it.

Hope this helps

      Andreas.
