That's a good policy !

Actually you do not need to mark it as released in d/changelog and/or push the debian/... tag.
For others to be able to work with your WIP packaging and git-buildpackage, you only need to push the upstream/... tag(s).

In my workflow I add the debian/.. tag only at the very last moment for example with:
gbp buildpackage --git-tag
and all other builds before than one I do with:
gbp buildpackage -usc -us

If you now delete the debian/... tag and unroll the last commit (you can safely rewrite history of master branch for a personal repo), CI will still work.
