I just realised the Wiki entry. However, it is not fully clear to me
how this package should be built. I have done
debian/rules get-orig-source
and obtained the files
ngspice_26.orig-manual.tar.gz
ngspice_26.orig.tar.gz
I admit I never dealt with multi source tarball packages and may be I
did it wrong. After unpacking both tarballs I copied the debian/ dir
into ngspice-26/ and said pdebuild:
...
dpkg-source -i.git -I.git -b ngspice-26
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)'
dpkg-source: info: building ngspice using existing ./ngspice_26.orig-manual.tar.gz ./ngspice_26.orig.tar.gz

This does not look good to me. I personally would try to create
packages 1:1 per upstream tarball and would use Files-Excluded in
debian/copyright to exclude files that should not be distributed.
In any case I'd (strongly) recommend using xz compression if you
are recreating the tarballs.
So, how to create the package properly? I must admit I'll be
traveling tomorrow to LSM in Montpellier - so will not be able
to upload before Monday.
Kind regards
Andreas.
