Hello Debian Kubernetes Team,


This email is a plea for a debian/README.source file
in the kubernetes packaging source tree.

At https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#source-package-handling-debian-readme-source
is "....  creating a debian/README.source documentation file is recommended."

Reason for asking that documentation file is
  How to update the upstream branch
  that lives in https://salsa.debian.org/kubernetes-team/packages/kubernetes.git
