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.
