Sounds like a sensible plan.

That's annonymous. You should rather clone (or set remote origin to):
ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/fis-gtm.git
Please use
git import-orig --pristine-tar <new_upstream_tarball>
(and nothing else) to do your first step (Incorporate the updated
sources). If you then try `git push` you will see whether you have
commit permissions.

So you can
ssh git.debian.org ?

You need to tweak the debian/ dir between
git import-orig --pristine-tar
and
git-buildpackage
The bare minimum is to
dch -i
to create a new changelog entry.
Feel free to come up on this list with any question you might have.
Kind regards and thanks for caring for fis-gtm
Andreas.
