I understand this is a matter of personal taste, but I beg to differ. I have been using git-buildpackage for most of my non-Python packages and, despite really small nits here and there, I think it is an awesome tool. git-dpm, OTOH, has several limitations (as already mentioned by others, it's not trivial to merge changes to local patches, and it can be quite complicated to import a new upstream version into the repository). I have had to package some Python packages these last weeks, and every time I had to deal with git-dpm I almost always stumbled upon some idiosyncrasy that got in the way of my work. Long story short: I am totally favorable to make the switch to git-buildpackage (in fact, I recently raised this topic on IRC but the conversation eventually died).
