git-buildpackages uses both the upstream branch to generate the
orig.tar.gz and a debian specific branch to generate the diff for the
debian directory.
--git-upstream-branch only uses a different branch than the default
("upstream"), you need to specify an alternate branch that includes the
debian directory with --git-debian-branch.
