I wonder if there are opportunities to combine the two approaches?

Can you elaborate?

Ah, so after we convert, if we decide to use git-dpm, then we set that up just
on the latest snapshot?

Indeed.
Also, I just saw that git-buildpackage(1) has gone away. It seem like all we
have now is gbp(1) but that has a different cli, and I think it has pq
built-in. Sigh. I'll have to spend some time getting my non-patch-based
workflow ported over to the new cli. Maybe it's worth taking the opportunity
to see if pq has gotten better or easier to use.
