Also, you don't really need to run uscan (which can be a very annoying
task if you are on slow network and the tarball is big), you only need
mk-origtargz(1), which is the tool uscan calls to repack the tarball,
and you can use the tarball you already have.
If you haven't pushed anything around, you might be able to roll back
you changes to were you were before, but it can be difficult and
"dangerous" (for you safety of the data in the git repo) if you are not
keen to use git. I recommend just rebuilding the tarball versioning it
+dfsg1 (assuming the previous one was "+dgsg" only) and import it again.
