How about this:

"""
DPMT requires a pristine-tar branch, and only upstream tarballs can be used to
advance the upstream branch.  Complete upstream git history should be avoided
in the upstream branch.
"""

I like the cherry picking advice, so I added that to the wiki.

I removed the sentence about gbp.  That's a local decision so it doesn't need
to go in policy.

Yep.  Again though, since this is a local decision, it should go in the wiki.
