As a general rule dgit does not support submodules: #726953. I think that this bug should probably be merged with that one, but kindly confirm. > (As a side note the only reason I'm using gbp-build rather than sbuild > is to deal with pristine-tar.

If you just need to check out the pristine tarball from git, try origtargz(1) from devscripts. If you want to commit the tarball, I'm not sure it makes sense for dgit to support that -- you're uploading the tarball to the archive when you `dgit push` and later `dgit clone` will fetch that tarball from the archive, so it seems redundant to also store it in a git branch. -- Sean Whitton
