Hi. Thanks for the report. We want everything to be smooth, so we
want to conveniently support your use case. (Although, ftpmaster
seems reliable to me, so whatever is going wrong with it for you is
perhaps related to your local network environment.)

You can put these options in your *dgit* configuration, too. That's
in your git config. There's dgit-distro.debian.cmd-dput, for
example. See the bottom of dgit(1) where the config options are
documented.
But you probably don't want to do that because there is also
"upload-host" in the dgit config.
I think something like
git config --global dgit-distro.debian.upload-host ssh-upload
should work, if I understand correctly what needs to change about the
way dgit invokes dput.

I think the (d)git config dgit-distro.distro.upload-host is indeed the
answer to this question.
Hope this helps.
Ian.
