We have this wiki page for describing common workflows for gbp-pq: https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackagingPQ It started as a copy of the git-dpm page: https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackaging So one thing to do is to debug the instructions there. I think the pq page would be a good place to capture whatever foolproof conversion recipe we come up with. Even after a mass migration, this might be useful for other maintainers that want to switch from git-dpm. Cheers, -Barry
