1. Download the stretch source packages:
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/heimdal/heimdal_7.1.0+dfsg-13+deb9u3.dsc
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/heimdal/heimdal_7.1.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/heimdal/heimdal_7.1.0+dfsg-13+deb9u3.debian.tar.xz
You should use dget instead.
3. Download new source and change its name:
wget https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/releases/download/heimdal-7.7.0/heimdal-7.7.0.tar.gz
mv heimdal-7.7.0.tar.gz heimdal_7.7.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
Just adding +dfsg is not enough, you need to actually repack the source
removing non-dfsg bits.
5. Import the upstream source:
git checkout upstream
This is the reason of your error.
You should do it in the debian branch.
gbp import-orig ../heimdal_7.7.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz -u7.7.0
The heimdal_7.7.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz correspoinds to the 7.7.0+dfsg upstream
version, not 7.7.0.
