I believe that Ian's intention is that the build tool should be
configured to put build products somewhere else, and then dgit should be
told where they are using --build-products-dir.  I.e. you have
~/.gbp.conf telling gbp where to put build products, and then

    % dgit --build-products-dir ~/foo gbp-build

Of course, it really should be possible to set a permanent
--build-products-dir in ~/.gitconfig.  That's #857316.

Does this fulfill your feature request?  If so, this bug should be
merged with #857316.
