Git-buildpackage uses whatevert builder you want and it indeed
currently defaults to 'debuild -i -I' which really isn't a good
default nowadays for several reasons.
I do wonder if we should switch to using git-pbuilder by default and
rather offer to invoke 'git-pbuilder create' in case we don't find a
proper base.cow for it.
