I'm not sure what you mean - you need to create a recent upstream
tarball and import it via `gbp import-orig --pristine-tar`. The
get-orig-source script should create a proper tarball (since upstream
does not deliver any downloadable tarball). It might be a good idea
to ask upstream about this.

Please look into the debian/get-orig-source script to understand what
I mean by VERSION. :-)

You need to update these patches. If you are lucky
quilt push
just detects "fuzz" and is able to apply the patch. This can be fixed
using `quilt refresh`. In the less lucky case you need to do manual
intervention. There might be more clever approaches than I'm following.
I usually keep a backup of the patch file and than manually strip the
chunks that do not apply and use `quilt edit ...` to reapply the changes
that did not apply.

This sounds like a
quilt push
quilt refresh
(==lucky) case.
Hope this helps
Andreas.
