As part of my Debian contribution, I do a great deal as a Debian Mentor. During this I have been asked many times how to import a new package into Debian's Salsa (GitLab instance).
I wrote a little tutorial to help here. Please use the link below to the tutorial on my part of the Debian wiki.
Importing a new package into Salsa

DebCamp and DebConf 2025
Addendum, 2025-0706:
I shall not be attending the conferences in person or virtually - I do not feel welcome with situations as they are.
Many ask how can you see/be notified of changes in a particular Salsa (GitLab) repository.
Firstly log in to Salsa.
Go to the repository you wish to watch.
Look for the Notificatiion Bell pictured above.
Click on the bell and change the selection to
Watch.
That's it.
The following are the commands I use to update my Debian (or any
apt) system. These commands will help you update your system and then clean update after, including any cruft.
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt purge `dpkg --list | grep ^rc | awk '{ print $2; }'`
sudo apt clean all
Hope this helps you update then clean up afterwards.
