We have similar issues with merging NMUs when the dgit and maintainer
views diverge. It's just the same problem.
Anyway, glad to hear everything seems
bian/control would appear in the dgit view.
The dgit view is meant to match the archive. I.e., it's got exactly the
same contents as the source package. So we would want debian/control
committed to it.
Is that the sort of committing-of-generated-artifacts you object to? Or
is it okay if the maintainer never sees it?

I didn't follow you here because my patch says "TAGOBJID is ..." which

Otherwise, I've revised the patch to address everything, I think.
Note that these new fields are in the archive, now, indeed
rom git-debpush.
How about we just reduce the scope of the check to particular changes?
