+This package is maintained in git on Salsa, using Otto Kekäläinen's
+documentation about how to maintain packages in git.
+
+Branch names follow DEP-14. gbp should be used to build the package.
+
+As a Debian native package, the conventional upstream branches are missing.
+Development takes place in debian/latest.
+
+Please do all development work in a branch, prefixed with your nickname and a
+slash. Please let Marc merge things into debian/latest. Preferably, use Gitlab
+merge requests. Keep your branch rebased on debian/latest so that a
+fast-forward merge is possible.
