I finalize a poor man debian wanna-build documentation as the second
part of my automatic building setup, with diagram of the setup in
attachement.

Now I need to concentrate on the "git <-> packaging" gateway and
workflow, with some points in mind:

- debian/changelog is managed automatically[1] and out of the way of the
  packager

- extend the behaviour of git-flow to handle packaging and ease some
  processes like: a user found a bug on package version X-Y, as I'm the
  upstream too I want to fix upstream code and integrate it in package[2]

I was thinking of making a git-buildpackage daemon, making a post-update
hook triggering the machinery to build a source package when ever a tag
is added and upload it to my poor man wanna-build setup.

Now I wonder of calling git-buildpackage directly from the hook, using
one signed "to-build" tag[3] per distribution.

I need some process to make git-buildpackage create a "release" tag of
the package when everything is uploaded.

Regrads.

[2]  I'm working for an ubuntu derivative and we manage only our
     packages (plus some backports) for which we are upstream and
     packagers, so the git-buildpackage patch-queue workflow is not very
     used here
