I don't really have any good suggestions.  I've had some weird problems with
git-dpm occasionally and no real solutions.  For example, it kept wanting to
turn a certain git commit in the patched branch into a double quilt patch, and
nothing I did seemed to work (I ended up giving up).

In some of my non-team packages I've been trying to use gbp-pq more.  It seems
not terrible, and at least it's maintained.  Is it time to consider switching?
Perhaps just on a trial basis?  When git-dpm works, it does work well.

Cheers,
