I think the bug here is more subtle. If I try dgit -D build -d (which
shows the actual commands run by dgit), dgit runs dpkg-buildpackage
twice: once to clean the tree, and once to do the build. The second
gets -d, but the first does not. That's infelicitous.
I think it would be better if `build' only ran dpkg-buildpackage once,
if the cleanmode is `dpkg-source'. (And it should run
dpkg-buildpackage with -nc otherwise, since it will have cleaned the
tree some other way.)
But, addressing the problem you are experiencing:

Three points:
1. dpkg-buildpackage -d won't install dependencies. The -d just
suppresses the check. So I think maybe you are confused ?
2. If you just use
dgit -wdd build
aka
dgit --clean=dpkg-source-d build
I think everything will work as it ought.
If you don't use -wdd then you will find that push fails due to the
lack of build dependencies.
3. When you say
> Patching in -d into @dpkgbuildpackage
do you mean actually editing the source code for dgit ?
But --dpkg-buildpackage:-d can be used from the command line to the
same effect. (Although it's not the best way to achieve this;
see point 2.)
Thanks,
Ian.
