Better to use the --pristine-tar option of git-import-orig - unless you 
already pushed your git-import-orig commit so it is too late to role 
back to do that.

Use git-buildpackage --git-compression=bzip

Or better: add a hint about compression type to debian/gbp.conf.  See 
the source of e.g. morituri for an example.
