These are the ones which are required. 'compat' and the source directory
including contents can be left alone. You should edit changelog, control
and copyright. rules is the Makefile actually building the
package. Editing that may be necessary later on.

You'll also need an install target in the top-level Makefile for this to
work.

Lastly, in case you want to turn this into a Debian source package,
keeping the debianization stuff on a separate git branch would IMHO be
advisable.
