Can you elaborate a bit? From my understanding of your description I'd consider your (git) workflow flawed since your generated source package has the upstream tar ball and all your Debian specific changes merged into it. git-buildpackage helps you to separate the upstream sources and the Debian folder with its patches. This way it's possible to maintain a package conveniently in git but also produce 3.0 (quilt) packages where even if one doesn't use git (or the git repo vanishes) is still possible to see what modifications has been done to the source compared to the upstream release.
