[git-buildpackage] Pass compression options to dpkg-source (using git-pbuilder)

[Christopher Baines]

So I have been trying to figure out for a while how to do this, but even
after spending several hours working through the source code of
git-buildpackage, git-pbuilder and pdebuild, I still cannot work out how
to do this successfully...

All I would like to do is pass the --source-option=--compression=gzip to
dpkg-buildpackage, as invoked by pdebuild, through running git-pbuilder,
through running gbp buildpackage.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Chris
