Yes. We should rather build the docs as html. Would you volunteer to
do this?

I just realised that the debian/watch file is broken and does not report
the latest upstream version. :-( (At least at the time I was injecting
the code it was working.) If you have no idea how to fix a watch file I
can try to fix it.

The upstream branch contains the files contained in the upstream
tarball. The pristine-tar branch is only metadata created by
pristine-tar (see `man pristine-tar`) to be able to recreate a md5sum
identical tarball as it was imported. You might be aware that you
do not get the very same byte-identical file if you untar a tarball
and tar it again. The use of pristine-tar does help here.
You do not need to deal with any of the two branches manually since
both are automatically when using
git import-orig --pristine-tar <orig_tarball>
If something remains unclear please have another look into the Debian
GIS policy (and for sure if the policy document does not reflect what I
wrote above please suggest an enhancement to help other newcomers).

Hope this helps
