Just (as a non-team member) took a look at the package.

For a non-team member, building this (src:)package (i.e. rebuilding  
the source tarball) is not intuitive.

(a)
When I do git-buildpackage -uc -us -S [--git-pristine-tar], I get this  
message:

"""

dh clean --parallel --with sphinxdoc --with pkgkde_symbolshelper
    dh_testdir -O--parallel
    dh_auto_clean -O--parallel
    dh_clean -O--parallel

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

gbp:error: Use --git-ignore-new to ignore
"""

SOLUTION -> Don't remove upstream files during debian/rules clean. For  
packages that use git-buildpackage, it is good to make sure that the  
upstream source file tree stays intact during the steps of the build  
process.


(b)
When I try to build the package with debuild -uc -us -S and then  
inject the resulting .dsc into sbuild, I get in trouble when repacking  
the tarball.

SOLUTION -> Please provide a get-orig-source rule in debian/rules that  
obtains the source orig tarball for the version to be packaged.

For my repacking tasks I use onlyjob's wiki page:

Greets,
Mike
