thanks, it looks like I did not enable pristine-tar in my gbp.conf. now 
the missing branches are all added, and debian/* are all deleted:

$octave-jsonlab$ git branch -a
* master
  pristine-tar
  upstream
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/pristine-tar
  remotes/origin/upstream
$octave-jsonlab$ git tag -l
upstream/2.0

$zmat$ git branch -a
* master
  pristine-tar
  upstream
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/pristine-tar
  remotes/origin/upstream
$zmat$ git tag -l
upstream/0.9.8

$octave-jnifti$ git branch -a
* master
  pristine-tar
  upstream
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/pristine-tar
  remotes/origin/upstream
$octave-jnifti$ git tag -l
upstream/0.6

let me know if this looks ok.
