Indeed.

Correct. However, I have collaborated with Diane on some of her
packages (dask) and the git-dpm setup was broken. So, I took this
opportunity to get rid of git-dpm and switch to gbp with her approval.

I can't speak for herself for partd.

For dask, the patch queue was not recognized by git-dpm, so the source
tree was essentially in patch non-applied mode. The conversion was then
straightforward: delete .git-dpm, add gbp.conf and do a round trip of
gbp pq import / export.

IMO, I believe it is not the end of the world, but I am obviously
biased.
