To the contrary, I would heartily recommend keeping upstream code in git,
and burying gbp far away from any of your machines. Being able to use git's
power to merge/cherry-pick patches with upstream both ways is awesome.
Quilt makes a really poor VCS, and is really fit only for old-style
tarballs. These days, most upstreams don't use autotool-like workflows
and the tarball is merely a snapshot of a tree pointed by a git tag.
This applies to clamav-unofficial-sigs as well.
But then, the set of workflows in Debian is anything but not diverse.
