debuild expects debuild options before dpkg-buildpackage options. -i
and -I are dpkg-buildpackage options, so it is not possible to pass
debuild options to debuild without changing the git-builder option
away from the default "debuild -i\.git -I.git".

A clumsy workaround is

git-buildpackage --git-builder="debuild" --set-envvar buildzg2package=yes -i\\.git -I.git

If this is intended, it needs to be documented more clearly.

You can set the builder to whatever you want. Maybe dpkg-buildpacakge
would be a better default anyway.

This wouldn't solve the issue at all. Please document that debuild
options cannot be set through gbp without also using a --git-builder
value other than the default.
