I built it locally, there are few lintian messages (at first look, they 
seem to be relevant), see: https://paste.debian.net/1198090/
It could also be helpful to have the git repo on salsa as well, 
allowing you to run more tests (reprotest, bhlc, piuparts etc...).
Just in case you wouldn't have used that facility yet, see [0] for 
details how to use debian/salsa-ci.yml
That would also allow other Debian contributors to submit MR without 
having to register on another platform :-)
