That's the point. If we decide to use gbp-pq, in fact, we're deciding to
not decide, and anyone can use PoQ (my choice, for example). Indeed, the
way to store the patches is PoQ, and you then "gbp-pq import", modify,
then "gbp-pq export" and store the packaging branch like this (ie: like
a PoQ branch). So, basically, we'll be back to what everyone else is
doing (ie: 99% of git maintained packages in Debian as much as I saw).

IMO, that's required if we decide to continue using pristine-tar (which
I don't think is a good idea, but let's not discuss that, as there seem
to be a consensus for it).

If this is what gbp pq does, then that's the *right* thing (I don't
remember, probably because it didn't destroy my Debian headers, which I
carefully crafted by hand...).
