I'm not really sure if I understood your problem, but "pristine-tar
commit" accepts a last optional argument where you specify the git
branch/tag for which the tarball corresponds to. From the manpage:

pristine-tar [-vdk] [-m message] commit tarball [upstream]

This way you can add pristine-tar information for any tarball that you
may have, be it the latest or an older one. E.g.:

pristine-tar commit ../upstream-tarball-1.1.orig.tar.gz

or

pristine-tar commit ../upstream-tarball-1.0.orig.tar.gz upstream/v1.0

Regards,
Tiago.
