Package: dgit Version: 5.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Currently, dgit-maint-gbp(7) says:

This is an unfortunate limitation, given gbp is pretty popular (although not universal)[1]. It would be great if dgit could better integrate with such workflows. In particular, there are two different steps: 1. Not require --overwrite after incorporating an NMU. 2. Provide some tooling for pulling NMUs into the maintainer tree. I think the first one is more important. The second one is already partially solved by gbp itself (via gbp-import-dsc).
