Yes.

I'll change this thirst thing on Monday, there was also no real reason
to use the version number, i.e. I will remove it.

Okay, I will change this too.

Somehow this is haunting us :/. I just set up a completely new and clean
Debian-unstable VM and then ...

git-buildpackage 
dh clean --parallel
   dh_testdir -O--parallel
   dh_auto_clean -O--parallel
   dh_clean -O--parallel
gbp:info: mia_2.0.7.orig.tar.xz does not exist, creating from
'upstream/2.0.7'
 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -i -I
dpkg-buildpackage: Quellpaket mia
dpkg-buildpackage: Quellversion 2.0.7-1
dpkg-buildpackage: Quellen geändert durch Gert Wollny \
<gw.fossdev@gmail.com>
 dpkg-source -i -I --before-build mia
dpkg-buildpackage: Host-Architektur amd64
... 

and it creates mia_2.0.7.orig.tar.xz in the parent directory. 

I noted that the "gbp:info" message  is different, and I seem to
remember that I also saw the "../tarballs" part before my vacations. In
other words, it could be we have another version conflict like with
pristine-tar before. I used git-buildpackage version 0.6.0~git20121124.
