git-buildpackage tries to tag the upstream import but there already is a tag 
under the name upstream/1.2.20. You'd either need to remove the tag and reset 
the upstream branch to a commit before the import of version 1.2.20 or (my 
preferred solution) you do another filtered import and give it a dfsg version: 
1.2.20+dfsg1

Have to go now, regards,
