I'm using
uscan --verbose
gbp import-orig --pristine-tar TARBAL_CREATED_USCAN
Hint: In some rare cases with really large tarballs (I think even
r-base is not that large) I needed to prepend the latter line by
TMPDIR=/var/tmp
since my TMPDIR was to small and the resulting error message was
not helpful.

To create a git repository from existing packages I'd recommend
gbp import-dscs --debsnap --pristine-tar PACKAGE
which conserves your packaging history.
Hope this helpy
Andreas.
