Thinking about this again I wonder if we shouldn't turn this around
like:
gbp-pull --build
and
git-clone --build git:///
so we'd just add a --build option to gbp-{pull,clone}. The commands
would behave as the do now but after finishing spawn git-buildpackage.
This way it would also work out of the box for existing repositories.
