Well it describes how to set up pbuilder chroots and git-buildpackage.

You need to build for unstable (ceres):

 - apt install git-buildpackage pbuilder cowbuilder
 - gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-dist=ceres create --mirror http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged
 - set up debian/gbp.conf
 - tag the upstream release
 - gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-dist=ceres

Hope that helps.
