That seems to amount to pretty much the same result.
I suspect you use the git-buildpackage defaults that store the build
results in the parent directory instead of under
/var/cache/pbuilder/result/, that's perfectly fine.

I wasn't until the lintian reported it after the new build. Sorry for
not catching that sooner (before pushing the change).

It would save you from manually running lintian after your build. I
think that the more we can automate the better.

We should probably include a section about sponsoring in the Packaging
Walkthrough in the policy for easy reference. That's still on my TODO
list for the 'Uploading a new package release' section. (TODO sections
in the policy are marked with '...').

Unfortunately we don't have many very active DDs in the team. The best
way to get sponsoring in the Debian GIS team is currently the Sponsoring
of Blends initiative by Andreas Tille.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB
Basically get your package in shape and make sure the changes in git are
pushed to the repository on git.debian.org, as described in the policy:
http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-push
Build the package and upload it mentors.debian.net if you're not a DM.
File a RFS bug for sponsorship-requests using reportbug and the template
provided on the package package on mentors.
Once you get the bug number for your RFS, add an entry to the SoB wiki
page. The SoB entries contain a link to the package on the gis tasks
page on blends.debian.org.
qmapshack wasn't yet included in a Debian GIS tasks, so I just added it
alongside qlandkartegt in the gps tasks. Once the pages are rebuild with
the recent changes in git it should be available at:
http://blends.debian.org/gis/tasks/gps#qmapshack
Andreas gets notified of all changes to the SoB wiki page, responds
pretty quickly to them.
