I get your point, but I think we should not set this in every package using gbp. If there is a bug in gbp, it should be reported, and not hidden by workarounds :-). In the meantime people may have to set a minimum configuration in their global gbp.conf. If you don't care much about this, I'll prefer to let the package as it is now. Thanks again for your reviews!
