You're right, it works for everything except for gbp buildpackage since it needs to distinguish between it's own and dpkg-buildpackage's options. So let's just drop --verbose since it's documented in the individual manpages anyway and redirect readers there instead. Thanks for pointing this out. The long term plan ist to get rid of the --git-* prefix in "gbp buildpackage" and offer an alternative gbp buildpackage <gbp options> -- <dpkg-buildpackage options> which is probably far less confusing.
