Recently I failed to attend a Debian bug squashing party here in Montreal
because I was otherwise engaged that day. If I had attended I would have
learned something about Debian packaging, which could perhaps have been
useful here.

But the report on the bug squashing party contains links to the documents
that were to clue the attendees in to Debian packaging.

I therefore refer those interested to that report:
https://anarc.at/blog/2017-04-09-montreal-bsp-report/

with links to

https://anarc.at/software/debian-development/
https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild

Also:

Montreal is the location of the next Debconf:
https://debconf17.debconf.org/

And at the footer of the bug squshing paty report, there's a link to
concerns about ambiguous wording in the new terms of service at Github:
