Marc, do you set both export-dir and tarball-dir ? We (dgit) should probably align our behaviour with gbp's and there will be corner cases to consider.
Yes, you should. I set both. To my understanding, export-dir is only written to¹, and tarball-dir is only read from. There is some inconsistency even in the "legacy" tools regarding the tarball, and with dgit having such an option, I have more "standing" with a wishlist bug against other software to also have a tarball dir. Sadly, at the moment I don't remember which other software insists on the tarball being in ..
¹ I'd love to have export-dir templatable (for example, writing build artifacts to ../build-area-<package>-<version>-<arch>), but gbp upstream was not excited about that.
