I just createt openemr.git - so this was not object of your polishing work.
Thanks to your script I was easily able to reproduce the problem:

$ LANG=C gbp-check
Already on 'master'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Upstream commit id      vers 4.1.2:      e840cfd0d7e7cc351c1e909604dccedf079dfad2
Pristine tar id         vers 4.1.2:      8705900aa673b64d295919315cedb33c7dfb3ed8

... are not identical!!!!

GIT hash in openemr_4.1.2.orig.tar.gz.id doesn't even exist!!!

Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

I created the repository via:

alioth:/git/debian-med > ./setup-repository openemr 'comprehensive medical practice management'

local:

  > cd openemr
  > git init
  > git import-orig --pristine-tar <path_to_upstream>
  > cp -a <path_to_debian_dir_in_svn> .

  > git commit -a
  > git remote add origin ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/openemr.git
  > git push origin master
  > git push --all --set-upstream
  > git push --tags

This is basically (moduly some other minor commits) what I have done
(and what I'm always doing).

Kind regards

       Andreas.
