Job,

Many thanks for taking this on.

A few comments on https://git.devuan.org/jobbautista9/iwd

- The branch should be suites/unstable.
- Add Origin: Devuan to d/control
- You need to update d/gbp.conf, in particular debian-branch, debian-tag and
pristine-tar. Devuan avoids using pristine-tar.
- Vcs-* fields in d/control should be https://git.devuan.org/devuan/iwd (where
the definitive source will be once it is accepted)
- You don't need quilt patches for changes in debian/. So you can just create
the initscript as debian/iwd.init.
- You shouldn't add the initscript control fragments to the maintscripts
manually, debhelper should do it (correctly) for you.

Other than the last item, these are documented in the Devuan Maintainers
Guide[1]. If anything is not clear do ping me on #devuan-dev.

Thanks

Mark (LeePen)
