I think it will be easier to backport them to next maintenance release in case
upstream polls some of the commits and forget others.
Usually upstream polls commit by commit to fixes branch. So the polled commits
will just need to be removed.
I also personally prefer handling small patches instead of a big one. But if you
really like to cat them all together I don't mind.

It used to build with bit buildpackage that was repalaced by gbp.
gbp is also able to use pbuilder and also qmu. I understood it is the "official"
way to build git hosted packages.

Here the issue is that it should do that automatically. The issue was that my
local branch "pristine-tar" was out of date compared to the origin's one.
Thanks for your hint.
