creating new package without archive file (e.g. tar.gz)

[Joachim Wiedorn <ad_debian@joonet.de>]

Hello,

I plan to create a Debian package of a new software which only have a git
repository, but no archive file. How should I create such a Debian
package? 

Is it enough to copy the git repo from the internet, remove .git/, rename
the main directory of the sources (<package>-<version>) and run dh_make
with --createorig to auto-create the orig directory?

Have a nice day.
