Based on my discussions with Ian J, the only incompatibilities between
my git-dpm packages and dgit should be the absence of .gitignore caused
by the dpkg-source -I default, and that should be addressed once I get
round to starting to upload stuff with dgit.

That would be http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/dpkg-quilt-setup, I
think, but as you say you're better off just not touching quilt in a
git-dpm tree. Having .pc there would probably confuse people into
trying to do so ...
