Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.7
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

It seems there is no way to configure git-buildpackage into using
mk-origtargz; in particular, this means gbp ignores the `Files-Excluded`
directive from debian/copyright.

While uscan itself supports this option, I am not using tarballs downloaded by
uscan, but rather upstream's git tags, as the basis for my “upstream” branch
(because upstream releases signed tags, not signed tarballs).

Being able to keep using the simple gbp workflow even when repackaging
would be extremely helpful  :)


Best,

  nicoo


PS: Thanks a lot for making git-buildpackage, it is extremely useful.
