I had toyed with this already some years ago and wasn't too happy with the modul layout so another look might be worth the effort but multimaint merge is a must have so it might be easier to fold the necessary code into gbp's changelog class borrowing heavily from python-debian.

Hello,
[...]
This will permit to append something like the '+squeezeX' or '-XubuntuY'
used at several places.
Another use case could be to transform upstream tags to valid debian
version.
I actually have an issue with a personal package for Gnus, the upstream
tag is: 'm0-X'.
I would like to set upstream-tag to 'm%(version)s' with a replacement of dash
('-') by dot ('.').
Regards.

Bug#656622: git-dch: Permit to mangle guessed Debian versions based on upstream tags
Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.6.0~git20111229 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/git-dch Dear Maintainer, In my quest to avoid manual debian/changelog management, I'm looking at a way to mangle the guessed debian version during git-dch invocation. Today: - upstream-tag permit to extract the version number from an upstream tag - debian-tag permit to extract the version number from a debian tag Looking at what git-dch produce and what a debian version is[1], I think git-dch could use another parameter to manage the debian_revision added to the upstream_version. This will permit to append something like the '+squeezeX' or '-XubuntuY' used at several places.
