AFAIK, there is none; there's an open bug filed against
git-buildpackage for multi tarball support (#561071) which has not
seen progress in a fairly long time, and I don't think any of the
other git helpers support multiple tarballs. If you want a workaround
that lets you work with unmodified tarballs, I suggest one of two
options:
- keep only debian/* in git and ignore everything else (which
sidesteps the issue)
- consider wrapping upstream's tarballs in a single orig tarball (e.g.
freetype [1])
