Thank you! I have built the package with sbuild successfully. However
I have a question
regarding this.
I followed these steps:
 - I cloned the git repository from salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/emscripten
 - cd emscripten
 - git archive --format=tar.gz
--output=../emscripten_3.1.69+dfsg.orig.tar.gz HEAD
 - sbuild
My question is, is everything alright with this workflow?

Apart from that, I have fixed 6 lintian warnings regarding manfile and
permission.
https://github.com/Labnann/emscripten-deb/commits/lintian-3.1.69-fixes
(In the last 3 commits)

So, I would like to know how to close a bug or mark it as fixed in version x.
Also I would love to know how I should send these changes to you (Via a PR or
through the Mentors portal?)

Best regards,
Khalid Masum
