Perhaps.

Oh, it wasn't clear that you wish to become upstream, also :)

I'd suggest getting the new upstream tarball in proper shape and a new
upstream homepage hosted somewhere, then start fresh or adapt, update,
clean up the old packaging for your new upstream version. You'll at
least want to keep the old debian/changelog for historical purposes.
Setting debian/source/format to "3.0 (quilt)" is a fine choice for
others that may need to patch packages later or for stable release updates.
That quilt error may be from a .pc directory still in the build tree?
