At apertis.org we rely on a local suffix to distinguish the deb sources we rebuild from git from the actual Debian sources. At the moment we do that with some `debchanges` calls and some manual (ugh!) editing from time to time. It would be nice to streamline that, so here's a patch to expose the `--local` option: https://github.com/agx/git-buildpackage/pull/76 Thank you!
