I think the --git-keyid is used only for tagging of the git repository. The error message comes from debsign, which doesn't know that you're building from a GIT repo. debsign needs a gpg key to sign the package and tries to get the key of the uploader, mentioned in the most recent debian/changelog line. You can however also give a gpg id to debsign: man debsign
Options for debsign could be given to git-buildpackage and should be propagated down the line. > Hi there, > > I am trying to use git-buildpackage, but I cannot understand how I > am supposed to pass my gpg keyid.
