We have. Citing from /usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/NEWS.Debian.gz:
git-buildpackage (0.6.0) unstable; urgency=low
In order to provide a more consistent and git like interface a new gbp super
command was added as a front end to all git-* and gbp-* commands. So what was
either git-<command> or gbp-<command> is now
gbp <command>
The old commands are still provided for backward compatibility but will be
removed in a future release so please update any scripts and tools
relying on it.

IMHO that's a clear and precise statement and at the right place.

BTDT (https://bugs.debian.org/783521) and fixed it
(http://deb.li/igDs0). Wasn't a big deal.

I think it was ok.
At least I was fully aware (and unhappy) about git-buildpackage's
git-* commands going away. I didn't really remember that also the
gbp-* variants will go away, too, but it really wasn't a big deal to
fix that, at least not in pkg-perl-tools. Had to touch like five
files, but still.

For the superfluous man pages, normal is surely the highest severity
it can deserve.
And the remainder is a non-issue IMHO as it was announced for a long
enough time. But I've set it to normal (and not to minor) as normal is
the default severity and I primarily wanted to remove the RC severity
without deciding about the real severity.
Regards, Axel
