What do you mean by 'additional metadata'? Patch headers generated from git commits? > Switching to dgit-maint-gbp(7) means using a patches-unapplied workflow. > [...] I want to be able to do raw `dpkg-buildpackage`.

I am okay to wait for your next invention. Last one I remember -- separate patches instead of single squashed patch in dgit-maint-merge(7) was awesome.
