The Debian packaging is in a clone of the repository on Github, but the
branches for Debian are pushed to alioth

The URLs are here, see the VCS link:

https://packages.qa.debian.org/r/resiprocate.html

I just made some fresh commits in the last few days

You should be able to do something like this to build:

git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-voip/resiprocate.git
git checkout debian/sid
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -i.* -j13

If you want to make changes, you could create a branch off debian/sid, e.g.

  git branch debian/boiko-tp-qt debian/sid

You may have to manually install some build dependencies with apt-get,
but you can get most of them with

apt-get build-dep resiprocate
