Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.26
Severity: serious

Hi.

With recent gbp pq (as of 0.9.26), dgit needs to pass new options
(well, actually, it does this via the config file so as to still work
with older gbp).  That's #1005873.

dgit 9.16 which I have just uploaded does this (again, sorry for the
delay).  It passes my formal autopkgtest with my sid chroot so I
expect it will be OK in ci.d.n.

As I wrote in another mail, I would appreciate it if you would
add to git-buildpackage:

  Breaks: dgit (<< 9.16~)

This will arrange that users will necessarily install the updates in
the correct order (and that partial updates will be correct).

I am filing this bug as "serious" not because I think it is RC, but
because if you agree with my suggestion, it would be good to prevent
gbp 0.9.26 migrating to testing, since it is that version that
presents the upgrade hazard, and instead migrate the updated version
with the Breaks (presumably 0.9.27).  That would avoid a window of
opportunity for lossage.

If you disagree with my choice of severity, do of course feel free to
downgrade it.

Regards,
Ian.
