That's also the tool used by pkg-perl for packages on git and many others
packaging teams (e.g. pkg-multimedia).

For some docs about it, see:

  http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.html
  http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html
  http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging#How_to_help_with_packaging

(if needed, I can help doing the initial push)

Cheers
