Well, that's a nice feature when you can get it, but I've run across two
cases where it just doesn't do what you want:
* I want to manipulate the results with quilt
* This gitattribute case.
so, yeah, I think that maintaining support for git-buildpackage to
export a tree whereever possible is really important.
I think that adding an export that would:
* take the upstream sources
* drop in the debian directory
* quilt push -a (or just leave an unapplied tree)
would be valuable for a number of use cases.
