So you're only injecting the current upstream version into git, not all
previous ones?

Anyway, I tried to use gbp buildpackage once or twice and found it
convoluted, so I'd have to look into that again.

The pkg-postgresql team (which I've been contributing to a quite a bit
in the recent past on company team) is using a debian/ only model
(probably mostly due ot the svn migration, which I guess is much easier
this way), which so far I had no issues working with.

I'll take a look.
