deb-janitor - interact with the Debian Janitor service

deb-janitor is a command-line client for the Debian Janitor service, interacting with the API. It currently allows retrieving the diff for specific packages or scheduling new runs.

CAMPAIGN is the name of one of the campaigns supported by the janitor. Common values include lintian-fixes and multiarch-fixes. See the homepage for a full list.

SOURCE is the name of a source package. If no source package name is specified, the source name is retrieved from debian/changelog in the current directory.
