To make sure git-buildpackage is not simply lying:  Could you check out
the upstream branch and unpack the original tarball to some other place
and do some

    diff -ubrN <repository> <unpackaged_tarball>

(perhaps you need to move the .git dir to somewhere else before doing
this).  This would uncover whether there might be real differences and
your import is somehow broken.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
