Notes

At https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-readmesource is this text:

debian/README.source may also include any other information that would be helpful to someone modifying the source package. Even if the package doesn’t fit the above description, maintainers are encouraged to document in a debian/README.source file any source package with a particularly complex or unintuitive source layout or build system (for example, a package that builds the same source multiple times to generate different binary packages).

Qouting rustdesk-server/.github/workflows/build.yaml

      - name: Download binaries
        uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: binaries-linux-${{ matrix.job.name }}
          path: debian-build/${{ matrix.job.name }}/bin

      - name: Build package for ${{ matrix.job.name }} arch
        run: |
          chmod -v a+x debian-build/${{ matrix.job.name }}/bin/*
          cp -vr debian systemd debian-build/${{ matrix.job.name }}/
          cat debian/control.tpl | sed 's/{{ ARCH }}/${{ matrix.job.debian_platform }}/' > debian-build/${{ matrix.job.name }}/debian/control
          cd debian-build/${{ matrix.job.name }}/
          debuild -i -us -uc -b -a${{ matrix.job.debian_platform }}

Now converting that to something that works locally.

For (re)using the debian/control.tpl has debian/README.source from #592 these lines:

eval $( dpkg-architecture )
sed -e "s/{{ ARCH }}/${DEB_TARGET_ARCH}/" \
    debian/control.tpl > target/rustdesk-server/debian/control
