well you can use the gitlab API to do this for you, the API isn't that hard to 
use. See my salsa.py to get the buildlog/lintian from salsa:

https://salsa.debian.org/hefee/pkg-kde-dev-scripts/-/blob/hefee/pim-management/function_collection/salsa.py#L45

if you want to use the SalsaPackage class you need a Project, that you get 
here:

https://salsa.debian.org/hefee/pkg-kde-dev-scripts/-/blob/hefee/pim-management/function_collection/functions.py#L1506

Sure it should be much easier to use, that's why I havn't merged it yet.

what are the issues? what state you had before?

well on kdepim the ABI is not stable, so we came up with this virtual package 
approach, to bundle things correctly. Because kcontacts and kcalcore moved to 
frameworks, the ABI is now stable and we can ship symbols files and do tracking 
via symbols file. We need to do a transition in order to build the rdepends 
correctly.

kcalcore is currently also in NEW queue, because of a new -doc package.I 
shipped 4:19.08.3+really5.69.0-1~ to experimental, so other packages can 
depend on the new kcalcore. The version in NEW is 5:5.69.0-1.
