Chiming in as someone who only maintains a few trivial packages: the
amount of time that you have spent on asking about dgit may already be
much bigger than the amount of time it would take you to just use it.
At least for me, I was able to simply run 'dgit --gbp build-source &&
dgit --gpm push' instead of 'sbuild <stuff> && dput <stuff>'. Mission
accomplished.
