I think there may also be a difficulty with the debian/<version> tags
referring to different trees.

Perhaps so.
Will you be at Debconf ? ISTR seeing you in the schedule. If so I'd
love to get together with you to see if we can improve the
compatibility. Lots of people are using gbp and I'd like them to be
able to easily publish their git history via dgit, so that dgit users
see the gbp history (or some derivative of it).
