dgit needs better pbuilder integration generally. (There's another
bug for that.)
But I think a config option for the default --build-products-dir would
be a good thing too (or maybe part of that). So I agree with this bug
report.

I think you may find -C useful: you can specify explicitly the
.changes file. dgit won't upload anything but whatever is in that.
Also, anyway, dgit is a bit cautious if it sees multiple .changes
files. I think you will probably find it will complain, rather than
doing the wrong thing. Try it with --damp-run and see ?
