could you please describe in debian/README.source how the workflow is to

The visible branch layout shows it's uses some upstream branch to import
newer versions. But currently I've no clue how to import a newer version.
Hi Carsten! I use normal 'gbp import-orig --uscan' and nothing special.
The undocumented missing piece is that you need something like this
first:
git remote add upstreamvcs
https://github.com/koxudaxi/datamodel-code-generator
(Note that this is a deviation from the Debian Python team's policy:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/policy.rst#git-procedures.)
But I have now also ran into the 'which' problem reported here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1141004
E TypeError: ExternalFile._load_value() missing 1 required positional
argument: 'which'
The latest upstream release fixes this. Simon, do you need help with
getting this packaged? This bug is tied up with some pretty significant
dependency graphs (including the current pytest 9.1 mess).
