Thanks for your effort. Unfortunately something is still wrong, because there
is a debian/ directory on the upstream branch.

If you are tired of rewriting the git history, I could do it myself. But I
think it is more valuable to you if you learn how to do it. Please let me know.

I don’t know. However you can put the following in ~/.gbp.conf (as I do):

[DEFAULT]
pristine-tar = True

(then it becomes possible to override this by passing --git-no-pristine-tar to
"gbp buildpackage", should you have a good reason for doing so).

Best,

P.S.: please don’t top-post.
