I've pulled in the fixes (cleaning up the commit messages a bit to match gbp's pattern). The preexport and version substitution stuff looks good as well and I'm happy to pull it in if it gets tests and doc updates (as you suggested). Only thing I'm unsure is if we really want version_to_tag here or just replace the upstream version verbatim. With version_to_tag the directories would need to be named like the debian tag instead of the upsteam version. Was that your intend or was it just simpler to do?
