For +example, the homepage for "Adblock Plus" is +https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/, so the +short name would be "adblock-plus". + +Here is an example for debian/rules: + +# if using debhelper +.br +override_dh_installchangelogs: +.br + dh_installchangelogs debian/changelog.upstream + +\[char46]PHONY: get-orig-changelog +.br +get-orig-changelog: +.br + amo-changelog adblock-plus > debian/changelog.upstream + +Using this approach, one would save the output file (debian/changelog.upstream) +as part of the Debian packaging.
