yes, but you need to write them only when the upload is performed, since the package wasn't in Debian, the changes
starts from now (and you have your git history to remember about that)

BTW the git urls are wrong:

examples of good git urls:

Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/package-xx.git
Vcs-Browser: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/package-xx.git

indeed, thanks for clarifying
>I have changed Debian license to GPL-2. 


again, forwarding patches from GPL-* to BSD-* is not allowed.
So another folk won't be able to forward a patch you made in Debian to
upstream.

Think about that possibility, maybe it isn't important/real for you, but
I want to make you aware of that


cheers,
