I just use gbp in the workflow.
* use `gbp import-orig` to update the upstream/pristine-tar/master
branch when new upstream released.
  The reason to use this, is we often need to exclude some files from
upstream. Thus I think we can't just pull all upstream commits to
upstream branch.
* use `gbp pq` to handle patches.
  It integrates the git workflow well.
* use `gbp buildpackge` to build

Currently I'm just not comfortable when I need to create an orig
tarball if the upstream doesn't have a TAG.
I hope #811565 can be fixed soon to get rid of this pain :)
