Actually it is easy... See my previous email...

`uscan` is a standard way of getting upstream traballs in Debian. Lately it 
got support for "Files-Excluded" field of "debian/copyright" and it removes 
non-DFSG files from tarball automatically (and renames repacked tarball as 
instructed in the "debian/watch" file). It is all in the uscan(1) man page.

Please go ahead if you feel it is something that needs documenting.
However it seems that you will be describing basics of how to use `uscan` 
which I believe do not belong to "README.source"... Maybe you could consider 
improving wiki page about uscan?

You need to check what you're doing (or what GBP is trying to do).

I built package so many times with "pbuilder" and "debuild" that I'm quite 
confident that Build-Depends are correct. I'm not sure what is wrong.
It may be that "debian" directory is misplaced relative to contents of 
extracted tarball?
