Yes! My gbp.conf states that explicitly:

$ cat debian/gbp.conf
[DEFAULT]
upstream-branch=lwalewski
debian-branch=debian
upstream-tag=v%(version)s

[buildpackage]
export-dir=build
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By doing this, I wanted to clean up my build environment and get rid of packages and intermediate dirs hanging all over the parent dir. Is it not recommended or unusual to use this feature?

Well, but then one needs to be careful with the export-dir - in my case it is located inside of my working copy (and ignored in the .gitignore file) so I got a whole lot of errors related to some leftovers from previous builds:

dpkg-source: error: unrepresentable changes to source

However, I eventually got it working by removing the export-dir from my working copy and including the --git-export=WC option, which is a workaround, but we can improve it further, I guess.

Best,
Lukasz
