Hello Guido,

In #1105759 we have been discussing whether git-deborig, which is
invoked by git-debpush, could read the upstream tag format out of
debian/gbp.conf.  Currently it tries several possibilities and fails if
more than one of these tags exists, or if none of them do.  In those
cases the user has to supply the full upstream tag name.

We'd want to do this by invoking gbp-config.  But adding a dependency on
the whole of gbp is undesirable, because that pulls in loads.  While
currently most users of git-debpush probably already have gbp installed,
we are hoping that git-debpush can be used for things like mass
source-only uploads in minimal environments, and the like.

What do you think about breaking gbp-config out into its own binary
package?

Thanks.
