We can't untar right into the git repo since we might need to mangle/filter files. Any suggestions are very welcome.

Not using "dpkg-source -x" would mean getting into the "details" of how debian patches are being applied - that's easy enough at the moment since we only have a single diff.gz but we'd have to keep up with changes in the packaging format ourselves then or am I missing something? > Another one is the fact that when importing for the first time, git-commit, > called without -q, generates a very long diff summary (since one end of > the diff is void) for no real use. I tried this and git-buildpackage now ommits the output but the speedup is quiet small - unfortunately.
