Bug#1111164: ITP: vkbasalt-cli -- CLI utility and library in conjunction with vkBasalt



Your repository contains master and upstream branches, but not pristine-tar.  
pristine-tar makes it a lot easier to use gbp, especially when processing new 
upstream releases, because it can regenerate the upstream tarball 
automatically, so that those building the package don’t need run `uscan --
download-current-version` and the can just use `gbp buildpackage`.

You can enable --pristine-tar for future `gbp import-orig --uscan` by adding a 
debian/gbp.conf with contents similar to the following:

https://salsa.debian.org/soren/privacybrowser/-/blob/master/debian/gbp.conf?
ref_type=heads

You can also import a pristine-tar for the current version if desired.


Your source package currently ships a binary in /usr/bin/ and Python modules 
in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.  These should be split out into two 
different binary packages, one probably named vkbasalt-cli and the other 
probably named python3-vkbasalt.  You can see an example of how this is done 
for the electrum package:

https://salsa.debian.org/cryptocoin-team/electrum/-/tree/master/debian?
ref_type=heads


As this package relates to the vkbasalt source package already in Debian, have 
you reached out to Stephan to coordinate your efforts?
