Since this is a option that needs to be passed to pbuilder and not to
dpkg-buildpackage one needs to use the --git-pbuilder-options command
line option:
# gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder-options='--binary-arch'
-> Invoking pbuilder
forking: pbuilder build --debbuildopts --debbuildopts --binary-arch
--buildplace /var/scratch/pbuilder/build//cow.31843 --buildresult
/var/scratch/src/git-buildpackage --debbuildopts --binary-arch --no-targz
--internal-chrootexec chroot /var/scratch/pbuilder/build//cow.31843 cow-shell
/var/scratch/src/git-buildpackage/git-buildpackage_0.6.2.dsc
The current situation for prefixing gbp options with --git- , not
prefixing dpkg-buildpackage options and passing pbuilder options via
--git-pbuilder is confusing but I'm not sure how we can make it much
simpler.
Sorry for the late reply,
