You're welcome.

Minor correction: The docs would need to go into non-free, not contrib;
however, If you wanted to make modus-themes depend on non-free docs,
then elpa-modus-themes would need to be moved to contrib.  Please note
that the docs will also need their on source package.  So in addition to
src:modus-themes (in Debian main), you would also have
src:modus-themes-docs (in non-free).  I recommend using a "Suggests"
from elpa-modus-themes, or a "Enhances" from the future non-free
modus-themes docs.

I agree with Bremner, and will add that the harm of shadowing the
copy of modus-themes that is bundled in Emacs is greater than the
usefulness of the docs.  Elpa-modus-themes doesn't have a "-docs"
package, so won't need to go through the NEW queue again.

You've got this! :) You're already using a gbp (git-buildpackage) style
git repository so this is *very easy*.  Just use the Files-Excluded
feature of debian/control, and run "gbp import-orig --uscan".

Regards,
Nicholas
