Yes, it would. When using git, I would expect debcommit to commit exactly those changes I've added with git add, not all changes; in other words, I expect debcommit to assume use of the index, as "git commit" does by default. debcommit should always behave exactly like the default commit command of the version control system in use, with the addition of supplying the autogenerated commit message. - Josh Triplett
