I would prefer (2) for personal use, I like doing:

#+begin_src sh
me at home:~$ git buildpackage --git-builder="sbuild -A -d unstable" --git-cleaner=/bin/true
#+end_src

This is fine for arch=all packages but requires X runs for X
architectures, so I'm looking at rebuildd and its interaction with
reprepro[1][2].

In that case, I'm inclined to use something like:

#+begin_src sh
me at home:~$ git buildpackage \
  --git-builder="dpkg-buildpackage -nc -d -S" \
  --git-postbuild='dput reprepro "${GBP_CHANGES_FILE}"'
  --git-cleaner=/bin/true
#+end_src

and let rebuildd to the work.

Regards.
