My point in reporting this bug is that “hooks” should not be needed.

Git-BuildPackage should simply assemble the package source as an
overlay, *before* calling ‘debuild -S’ or ‘debian/rules clean’ or
anything else which requires the source assembled in that directory.

That shouldn't require defining a hook; it should be the default
behaviour in response to “this package source should be assembled as
an overlay” (the ‘overlay = true’ option).
