Please try a web search for instance with the terms

    debian source format dsc file

which brought several helpful links.  Alternatively you can ask ChatGPT,
Gemini or the LLM of your choice

    Can you explain what "import an existing .dsc file" means?

which produced a very verbose and good understandable text for me.

I do not think that things which are easy to find and is pretty clear
for the average reader of the text you want to extend should be written
down here.

Thank you for your suggestion anyway
    Andreas.
