+Debian packaging for youtube-dl
+-------------------------------
+
+A quick summary of how one can update the Debian packaging of youtube-dl is
+to, assuming that one already has the packages `devscripts`,
+`git-buildpackage`, and `pristine-tar` installed:
+
+    git clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/youtube-dl.git
+    cd youtube-dl
+    git branch upstream origin/upstream
+    git branch pristine-tar origin/pristine-tar
+    git-import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan
+    [ Make here some adaptations, like updating debian/patches, if needed ]
+    git-buildpackage --git-pristine-tar
+
+These are the important steps and may need to be changed according to
+deviations, say, in the release process of upstream releases (e.g., if
+upstream changes the location where the tarballs reside).
