Hi David, sorry for the late reply.

It's caused by gbp-pq using "git quilt-import" for the import. We have to get rid of git-quilt-import due to other bugs like #592129. The plan is to rewrite gbp-pq in python (like the other helpers) and to invoke "git apply" directly so we can preserve all the header information (and the patch names). It's not that much work but I didn't get around to it yet so help on this would be welcome. Cheers, -- Guido
