Yes. Set as version 0.503-1 instead of 0.503-0. And it seems you forgot
to update the Maintainers and Uploaders field; you should set yourself
to uploaders with exactly the same email address as you used in
debian/changelog.

Try 'git-dch -s <tag of the last ubuntu import>'

you can get a list of tags with 'git tag -l'
