Does git-buildpackage support that easily? I did a quick look at the
gbp-pq tool. But I don't quite get it. Any hints?

Or do you suggest to drop git-buildpackage altogether? I prefer using a
vcs/scm to manage patches instead of doing it manually. But in the end
for me everything is fine as long as gauche 0.9.x will get into squeeze
;-)
