I don't think this works, because Debian packages don't include the
upstream Git repo. The implementation (modifying debian/control) is also
very wrong. So I'm closing this RFS and if you come with an implementation
that actually works you should ask for feedback on it before asking for
sponsorship.

You were meant to follow https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ and
upload your package to mentors.debian.net.
Also as a part of that guide you would file an ITP bug report and would get
the same feedback on this software before starting to work on the packaging for it.
