hi, fwiw, I'm also not using git-buildpackage and I don't want to. (Step learning curve, too much magic, hard to debug and I dont see benefits for the packages I maintain.) I'm also not a beginner. And I love gbp-dch.
just as another data point. (the above.) please dont enforce git-buildpackage on everyone. emacs might be better than nano for many usecases, but not all. if someone would force me to use emacs, I'd be out. (FWIW, i'm a vim user, this is an analogy.) -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ Segregation was legal.
