+importing new upstream sources
+------------------------------
+
+Packaging is managed by 'gbp'.
+To keep everything streamlined (use expected compression as defined in
+d/gbp.conf, exclude files as defined in d/copyright), it's probably best to use
+'gbp' in conjunction with 'uscan' to import upstream sources.
+Typically this is done with a call to:
+
+    $ gbp import-orig --uscan
