Uhmm, I would think that there should be no options in .gitconfig that
will potentially change some upstream files without notification.

I do not see any problem in this.

I think leaving the pristine-tar as is is the proper way to go or do you
see any harm in using the upstream files as they are.

Perhaps it is the fact that I'm using lintian from unstable, but I get
some more:
$ lintian hunspell-en-med_1-1_amd64.changes
W: hunspell-en-med source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends hunspell-en-med
W: hunspell-en-med source: package-needs-versioned-debhelper-build-depends 8
W: hunspell-en-med source: ancient-standards-version 3.8.4 (current is 3.9.4)
I: hunspell-en-med source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
P: hunspell-en-med: no-upstream-changelog
W: hunspell-en-med: wrong-bug-number-in-closes l3:#nnnn
W: hunspell-en-med: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
E: hunspell-en-med: helper-templates-in-copyright
I: hunspell-en-med: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
Please try:
sudo apt-get -t unstable install lintian
lintian -i -I hunspell-en-med_1-1_amd64.changes
Kind regards
Andreas.
