dpttakeover helps taking over a package and adopting its control files for maintenance by the Debian
       Perl group.

       dpttakeover first creates a local Git repository either from existing Git repository specified with the
       -g option, or by importing all package versions available on snapshot.debian.org via gbp-import-dscs(1).

       Next dpttakeover adds suitable entries to debian/changelog, using information given by the -m or the -a
       options.

       Next dpttakeover runs "dpt-packagecheck -a -A -C -c" to adjust the control fields.

       Finally, the resulting Git repository is pushed to the Debian collaborative server, salsa.debian.org,
       unless the -n option is used.
