I asked tumbleweed about this and he thinks it is possible with
gbp-buildpackage, and that paultag probably knows how.

What exactly are you having a problem with?

I had a brief look at the gbp-buildpackage manual [1] and I found this
option which might be what we need:

--git-tarball-dir=DIRECTORY

Search for original tarballs in DIRECTORY instead of generating them.
