Basically its: 
hg-fast-export 
*some horrible git magic to get debian/ only commits*
git checkout --orphan upstream
git rm -rf .
git commit --allow-empty -m 'Initial upstream branch.'
git checkout -f master
git-import-org <as many origs as you want> 

I can do this for you if you want. 

Get an open bug, fix it :). But better wait until I uploaded 2.6.5.
