Thanks for preparing these, I’m also preparing faudio 20.12 in parallel ;-). I haven’t checked vkd3d, but note for faudio that we don’t use gbp import-orig, we merge the upstream branch directly! I’ll have the upload ready today or tomorrow.
Nice.
See README.source in faudio/debian for the update procedure, which can be simplified — I’ll update it in the next upload.
I just read it and that's indeed a tad more complicated. I'm curious to why you are using this method but I cannot find the reason explained anywhere. Not that gbp is perfect but it's working quite well now and make contribution way easier. Also in faudio's situation that means there is no way to regenerate an identical tarball from the git repo since pristine-tar is not used either. I don't want to force you into anything you do not want but clearly this is a deterrent for contribution (at least for me).
As for Wine itself, it looks more complicated but maybe I could help too, if you're ok with this. It seems you wish to get a properly working package for each and every version to be able to downgrade in case of upstream regression IIUC. I think it's a useful goal but currently we're 13 versions late so it would be nice to do something about it.
