Yes, I don't want commit IDs in changelog so I explicitly state that. I've
started doing so after few cases when uploaders introduced needless commit ID
noise to changelog.

I also think so. Personally I don't build packages with GBP so I shouldn't
care much but this fragment may be important for thouse who don't know how to
build package without upstream sources in master. This fragment was
introduced after earlier discussion in mail list when someone suggested that
repository layout should be compatible with GBP either through "standard"
layout or with gbp.conf to allow package build out of the box.

I agree this is ugly but "export-dir" is important because one can't build
package with default settings. It is always easier to change existing
settings than try to find which parameter should be added.

Nope. :) But those concerns wasn't really mine as it is all about helping
those who build packages with GBP...
