I think this method is somehow outdated now that we have a very reliable
tool which takes care of that automatically: git-buildpackage

Using git-import-* tools and gbp-clone makes the workflow very easy, I
suggest you have a look at these tools.

I have also in the meantime managed to understand why gbp fails to detect the
compression format with imports from your method. It is linked to the commit
message which is based on the following template when using git-import-orig: 
  pristine-tar data for <package>_<version>.orig.tar.gz

I haven't checked the code though, but here is the verbose output of
git-buildpackage:
gbp:debug: ['git', 'log', '--pretty=format:%H', '--grep=pristine-tar .* extundelete_0.2.0\\.orig.tar\\.', 'pristine-tar', '--']
gbp:debug: ['git', 'log', '-n1', '--pretty=format:%s', 'pristine-tar']
gbp:debug: Determined compression type 'None'
gbp:warn: Unknown compression type of Adding pristine-tar version 0.2.0., assuming gzip

The pristine-branch contains:
  extundelete_0.2.0.orig.tar.gz.delta  extundelete_0.2.0.orig.tar.gz.id

But the commit log only states:
  Adding pristine-tar version 0.2.0.

Which means the --grep cannot lead to any result.

I don't think it is a problem, as gbp is meant to be used with git-import-orig
and not in a different worfklow.

Give me your thoughts on gbp, I thin kit's worth having a look at it.

Cheers,
Julien
