I know git-buildpackage has a lot of options and historically it has
been a little bit hard for packagers to figure out which commands
exactly to use with git-buildpackage to achieve the normal day-to-day
packaging tasks, but the man pages and the manual at
https://gbp.sigxcpu.org/manual/ is nowadays much improved.

Are you sure that creating a new abstraction layer on top of
git-buildpackage is useful?

You basically just have one bash script with git-buildpackage aliases
in a fancy way. Could you just contribute to upstream git-buildpackage
to make it easier, or have your script included at
https://salsa.debian.org/agx/git-buildpackage/-/tree/master/examples
instead of creating a whole new Debian package?
