Looks OK so far.

Hmmm, the upstream files in the master branch are different from the
pristine-tar files - for whatever reason. To fix this very issue I
commited the files from upstream source right into master and now
git-buildpackage works nicely. I have no idea why this happened but
now the package works.

You surely might need d/install and d/doc files - but this is totally
unrelated to your problem above.

Hmm, can not see that this was done in the Git repository (and it is not
needed anyway.)

In any case you need to make sure that everything in master is identical
to the upstream source (except the additional debian/ dir.) This is
what dpkg-source is checking and it breaks if not fullfilled.
The builded *.deb has some lintian warnings I did not dived into - feel
free to ask if something remains unclear.
Kind regards
Andreas.
