Good, so once you have the following information recorded in a git
initialised folder:
- Source package name (d/changelog)
- Files-Excluded pattern (d/copyright)
- Remote fetching regexp (d/watch)
- Repository layout (d/gbp.conf)
You can just run `uscan` followed by `gbp import-orig ../$TARBALL` and
your packaging repository is good to go. Beyond this point, all you
have to do is work on the rest of the debianization in the `master`
branch.
You should not have to setup the packaging repository ever again unless
you screwed up the check-list in my earlier reply.
