My current workflow for this package involves the git-buildpackage and cowbuilder packages, and the following ~/.gbp.conf:

[DEFAULT]
# tell git-buildpackage howto clean the source tree
cleaner = fakeroot debian/rules clean
# this is how we invoke pbuilder, arguments passed to git-buildpackage will be
# passed to dpkg-buildpackge in the chroot
builder = /usr/bin/git-pbuilder
sign-tags = False
pristine-tar = True

[git-import-orig]
postimport = git-dch -N%(version)s -S -a --debian-branch=$GBP_BRANCH
import-msg = New upstream version %(version)s

[git-dch]
git-author = True
meta = True

The rest just uses the git-buildpackage workflow.
