Hi,

this is a feature request to someone who has access and the knowledge to 
improve.

Description of the problem:

The second paragraph in 
<https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackaging#Creating_a_new_package> 
tell me about importing a "dsc-file" without explaining what a dsc-file 
is or why I have to import it. The knowledge background is missing.

There is a hyper link behind the text "import an existing .dsc file" 
pointing to <https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/ImportDsc>. 
Regarding that URL I assume this wiki entry is not maintained by DPT. 
But it also do not explain about dsc-file.

Suggested solution:
Create or locate the dsc-file definition in the wiki. It should be an 
extra page. Then just use a hyperlink in your own docu to point to that 
definition.

     "import an existing .dsc file"
      ^^^^^^             ^^^^^^^^^
      I                  L <https://wiki.debian.org/DSC-DEFINITION>
      L <https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit/GitDpm/ImportDsc>

Please let me know if there is another "channel" where I should open 
such requests.

Thanks in advance
Christian Buhtz
