Well, as Debian Policy suggest you should update upstream and
pristine-tar
git import-orig --pristine-tar <path_to_upstream_tar>
As far as I can see you rather updated the single files in master. The
usual way to do the *Debian packaging* is that master contains upstream
(as imported from the tarball) and the debian/ dir. Charles has added
another method to clone an upstream repository and also added some
documentation. I *personally* have no experience with this way and can
not help you here since I do not use this method.
If you want my (personall) recommendation I would revert the latest
commit and go the import-orig way above. Otherwise Charles might give a
hint how to proceede from here.

No problem. Only those who do nothing will not make any mistakes. ;-)
Kind regards
Andreas.
