It should rather contain files matching the pattern vspline_0.2.0.orig.tar.gz.*. My suggestion would be to scratch again the repository, and recreate it afresh from your latest source package using "gbp import-dsc --pristine-tar" (after addressing the points below). Two other points: - I don’t understand why the package build-depends on libvigraimpex-dev. I see nothing in the build process that requires it (by the way, there is no point in using Build-Depends-Indep instead of just Build-Depends, since your source package builds only architecture-independent binary packages). - your changelog entry is too verbose. There's no point in describing changes that you recently made, since this is the first release, so there is no previous Debian release to compare to. It should just contain: * Initial release (Closes: #867382). (note that you can use "dch --create" to recreate the changelog from scratch with the correct entry).
