      <title>Upstream tarball creation options</title>
      <para>When &gbp-buildpackage; doesn't find a suitable upstream
	tarball it will create one either using &pristine-tar;
	or <command>git archive</command>. These options determine how the tarball is created:

            <para>
              Use pristine-tar when generating the upstream tarball if
              it doesn't exist. If this mode is enabled
              the <option>--git-upstream-tag</option>, <option>--git-upstream-tree</option>
              options have no effect.
