I'm afraid not, except possibly in some older messages on this list. I
really thought I'd written something more on the 'new-build' target into
README.source, sorry about that.

Anyway, all you should need is the normal topgit initialization:

# tg remote --populate origin

and possibly

# git checkout -b upstream origin/upstream

Then, on master, 

# ./debian/rules new-build

will generate the debian/patches directory from the topgit branches.

HTH,
