I would think "gbp pq" is the most popular.
I think something like:
* Don't touch existing packages just for the sake of doing so.
* Next time you do need to update a package with a debian/.git-dpm:
1. Delete debian/.git-dpm.
2. Unapply all patches and commit (not sure what the easiest way is)
3. Update debian/source/options with "unapply-patches" (anything else?).
* If you encounter a package without debian/.git-dpm, don't re-add it.
* Don't push the gbp pq patches queue branch.
