Quickstart with Debian Med package template

  == Helpful Links ==
  
  For newcomers in the Debian Med team the most essential reading is the [[https://med-team.pages.debian.net/policy/|Debian Med policy]] document.  Please put it under your pillow.  It helps the student to in the initial phase when having first trouble with checking out via ssh as well as giving useful hints later.
+ 
+ == Quickstart with Debian Med package template ==
+ 
+  1. Get recent package template
+     git clone https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/community/package_template
+  1. Go to your target packaging directory and personalise the template above.  This script will ask you to set some variables you should set for several tasks when doing Debian packaging. Just do what the script wants you to do and call it until it creates a debian/ dir.
+     PATH_TO_package_template_CLONE/package_template/personalise_template https://github.com/USER/PACKAGE/
+         or
+     PATH_TO_package_template_CLONE/package_template/personalise_template PACKAGE
+  1. The good thing for Github maintained projects is that we can pretty much predict the {{{debian/watch}}} file which is parsed by {{{uscan}}}.  If the target software is not at Github the {{{package_template}}} contains lots of other examples for valid {{{debian/watch}}} files.  So edit {{{debian/watch}}} if the project is somewhere else than Github and do
+     cd PACKAGE/debian && uscan --verbose    
+  1. In all cases when you manage to create a valid {{{debian/watch}}} file you can safely remove the files {{{debian/get-orig-source*}}}.  These are just fallbacks if there is no easy way to use {{{uscan}}} which is luckily extremely rare.
