reopen 590648
retitle 590648 git-buildpackage calls debuild incorrectly
reassign 590648 git-buildpackage 0.3.3
thanks
As per the below discussion, git-buildpackage's builder command defaults
to "debuild -i\.git -I.git"[0] and any non "--git-..." options are
appended to the default command. This doesn't work because
debuild-specific options must come first, followed by dpkg-buildpackage
options and then lintian options, if any.
[0]: Actually, that's an inconsistency between the man page and the real
default of "debuild -i -I".
