Package: git-buildpackage

Using postunpack command is possible to change the content of the source
directories, with something way more advanced than `filters`, however
once the content is modified, it will only be part of the repo, while
it's not possible to repack the resulting orig file.

This can be quite convenient when projects are provided as sub-projects
and some advanced filtering is needed.

For example, the mozilla source provides also mozjs sources, and it's
possible to generate the orig for such package using a script they
provide, in debian we can't regenerate such origin just using gbp
import-orig.

I.e. this would be what I'd like to achieve without having to use
filters at all, and having a matching tarball
