The .git-dpm file is only shipped with the Debian source package, and
AFAIK has no meaning outside git. So it is a useless file for the Debian
source package. There should be no impact whatsoever in removing it, and
you could even argue that it was a bug to distribute it in the Debian
source in the fist place.

That may be a better reason.

Hence the reason I suggested not doing a mass migration of all packages
at once (at least for now) but to update the package when it otherwise
needs updating.
