I believe so. Although from memory the conversion instructions are
incomplete on how to change the default branch to debian/master, which
is required before you can delete the old master branch.
Having a master branch that is no longer useful may have confused me
with some packages that other people have converted, but haven't had
time to check.

Whoops. Possibly these links should be removed, all the information
required should be on this page. If not, feel free to add it...

Personally I use signed tags. gbp has a --git-sign-tags option.

The only major issue is the lack of proper procedure on how do the
master --> debian/master branch rename. As in I think the procedures
leaves behind a master branch, and keeps it as the default.
I have a script on git.debian.org - hopefully everyone should be able to
read this:
/srv/home/users/bam/convert
Which will handle the entire conversion. Must be run on git.debian.org,
and for best results git should have your username and email setup on
git.debian.org. Works for me for every case, except for the one package
where I hadn't pushed upstream changes correctly beforehand.
The script also includes the correct procedure for converting from
master to debian/master.
