I looked into what git-bp does now: It doesn't add the packagename to
the tag but to the commit message.

I've now put together a quick patch that does the same for debcommit:
add the source package name to commit messages and output messages
for release/tag.

Allowing to specify a format for the tags themselves might also be
nice; maybe we should clone this bug report to have the two issues
separate?

Cheers,
