I'm glad of the former. I don't use ‘pristine-tar’, though.

I use the “merge when building the source package” workflow, where the
upstream source is a tarball outside the working tree, not part of the
Debian packaging VCS at all.

See ‘git-buildpackage(1)’, the ‘--git-overlay’ option.

Is that still a wholly compatible workflow with what is being proposed?
