+How to easily help upstream exactly reproduce build/test errors that may be specific to Debian?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+For packages already uploaded, you can adapt the Dockerfile below to `share with
+upstream <https://github.com/sunpy/sunpy/issues/7550#issue-2225805770>`_ so
+they can see the error and be able to inspect and troubleshoot with the exact
+same versions and patches applied:
+
+::
+
+  FROM docker.io/debian:sid-slim
+
+  WORKDIR /build
+
+  RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends devscripts curl debian-keyring
+  RUN dget https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sunpy/sunpy_5.1.1-4.dsc
+  WORKDIR /build/sunpy-5.1.1
+  RUN apt-get -y build-dep .
+  RUN dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b
+
+Be sure to change the ``RUN dget`` line and the second ``WORKDIR /build/`` line
+to match the package.
+
+The Dockerfile even works for testing non-amd64 systems with the ``--platform``
+option to ``docker build`` (or ``podman build``). The platform name is
+``linux/arm/v5`` for the armel architecture, ``linux/arm/v6`` for the armhf
+architecture, and ``linux/mips64le`` for mips64**el**.

 What to do if a large package does not build on a specific autobuilder architecture?
