+General
+=======
+
+This package uses the tarball-based variant of the dgit-maint-merge workflow.
+Upstream uses git but distributes files constituting a copyright violation with
+it. Thus, we do not want to ship upstream's git history but instead rely on
+tarballs that were retrieved using uscan and repacked using mk-origtargz and
+the Files-Excluded field from debian/copright.
+
+New upstream release
+====================
+
+To import a new upstream version, use:
+
+    $ gbp import-orig --uscan
+
+gbp options specific to dgit will be read from debian/gbp.conf
