Ok, I have tried to do that but get stuck and have a few questions about the process.

Does this mean that I have to drop our (ubuntu-specific) changelog file and just replace it with the changelog file from the debian source package?
Even more, do I need to take only source code from debian source package or packaging metadata too (debian/ directory)?
I can see two options:
1. take debian/sid source package, unpack, add Ubuntu-specific patches, add a changelog entry, add transition packages entries to the debian/control file. In this case we loosing all the changelog from Ubuntu LXC package.
2. take debian/sid source package, unpack, drop debian/ directory and replace it with the debian/ directory from the Ubuntu package from ubuntu/noble-devel, ...

Which option is a correct and preferred one?
