Here is an approach that I'm using recently: 1) I followed the "No upstream tarballs" section of git-buildpackage manual [1]. 2) After cloning the upstream repository and checkout of debian/sid branch, I "git rm"ed the .gitattributes file. This is necessary to preserve the tests during git-export. 3) I added "--git-upstream=SLOPPY" to the first "gbp buildpackage" command that commits the pristine tar, so it exports HEAD instead of the release tag.
