I don't agree on this. I have been a happy git-buildpackage user for all
my packages. The problem with git-dpm is that the patch series can't be easily
fixed after a merge when it generates conflicts. It's too intricately tied
to git-dpm's own fake merge logic with commit it recorded in
debian/.git-dpm and it's very painful to bring the repository in a state
where git-dpm is happy.

With git-buildpackage, the merge and the update of the patch series are
distinct operations that can be done at different times. Since patches are
unapplied, the merge usually works fine and the patch series
can be easily rebased afterwards with your tool of choice.

Anyway, +1 from me to switch to git-buildpackage and in fact among the
python-django maintainers we are close to decide to switch back to
git-buildpackage because it's really horrible to use when you want to
merge across branches of different releases.
