Description

Upstream source archives can be turned into an initial Debian package source tree. It is useful for maintainers who need a starting point for Debian packaging before refining rules, metadata, and dependencies.

This command generates packaging files, but human review is still required. Check licenses, dependencies, install paths, and build behavior before distributing the package.

How to run
