I'm following it, but my build is still *named* as old.
What I've missed?

Here is what I did:

$ gbp import-orig --uscan
gbp:info: Launching uscan...
uscan warn: No files matched excluded pattern as the last matching
glob: Godeps/_workspace
gbp:info: Using uscan downloaded tarball ../easygen_4.0.0.orig.tar.gz
gbp:info: Importing '../easygen_4.0.0.orig.tar.gz' to branch 'upstream'...
gbp:info: Source package is easygen
gbp:info: Upstream version is 4.0.0
gbp:info: Replacing upstream source on 'master'
gbp:info: Successfully imported version 4.0.0 of ../easygen_4.0.0.orig.tar.gz

then,

$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui -i -b
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package easygen
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 3.0.0+git20180723.75369c3-1
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable
. . .

I.e., although gbp has successfully imported version 4.0.0,
dpkg-buildpackage still thinks the source version is 3.0.0+git...
and it creates such version file as well:

$ dpkg -c ../easygen_3.0.0+git20180723.75369c3-1_amd64.deb
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2019-03-17 20:48 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2019-03-17 20:48 ./usr/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2019-03-17 20:48 ./usr/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root   3077224 2019-03-17 20:48 ./usr/bin/easygen
. . .

However, judging from the content being built, I can tell that
dpkg-buildpackage IS building my 4.0 content.

What step(s) I've missed? Thx
