Re: Build an initial Debian source package with py2dsp from a GitHub project

this is already supported (but in general by py2dsp and in the context
of --github), f.e.:

$ ./py2dsp --profile dpt --distribution unstable --revision 1 --gh
https://github.com/indygreg/python-zstandard
./zstandard_0.14.1.orig.tar.gz

uses the locally available zstandard_0.14.1.orig.tar.gz tarball (which
is not the latest available on gh) to create the source pkg with the
github customizations

i dont see how starting from a git repo is useful, can you expand?
