if that were the only need, then that would mean that gbp users cannot
overwrite defaults in their ~/.gbp.conf. For example, pristine-tar is currently
disabled by default. Suppose a user has this in their ~/.gbp.conf because they
are tired of having to pass --pristine-tar to all the gbp commands manually:

[DEFAULT]
pristine-tar = True

Then without a debian/gbp.conf, this user would get into trouble if they try to
modify one of the few[*] packages on salsa that do not make use of
pristine-tar.

[*] I have no clue about the actual numbers and maybe there are teams which
explicitly disable pristine-tar but I cannot remember the last time I changed a
package on salsa without a pristine-tar branch and without a debian/gbp.conf.

And because they pass those options that are not the default manually, see line
142 in salsa-ci.yml:

    gbp pull --ignore-branch --pristine-tar --track-missing

One of the reasons why gbp is unable to change defaults is because that would
break packaging for those packages which do not explicitly declare their gbp
branch defaults in debian/gbp.conf, see #829444

I don't disagree that having to have a debian/gbp.conf is ugly but having it
allows:

 * contribution by developers with custom settings in ~/.gbp.conf
 * less painful changes of the gbp defaults

As far as I see it, adding debian/gbp.conf to my packages is a way for me to
declare things like branch layout, pristine-tar usage, upstream git tag format
or signing options in a machine readable format. In another sub-thread it was
pointed out that this information can also be put into debian/README.source
but that file is not machine readable...

Thanks!

cheers, josch
