Why? Its fully sufficient in
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/toulbar2
since this is definitely no upstream change

I do not understand this. Do you want to strip those files *generally*
from the upstream tarball? Than in turn you do not need the
Files-Exclude in debian/copyright since nothing needs exclusion any
more.

Why are you using an empty git repository? The workflow would have been
as follows:
gbp clone git@salsa.debian.org:science-team/toulbar2.git
cd toulbar2
uscan --verbose --force-download
gbp import-orig --pristine-tar ../toulbar2_1.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.xz
Your action seems to have messed up the Git repository on Salsa.
If I try
$ gbp pull
gbp:info: Fetching from default remote for each branch
gbp:warning: Skipping non-fast forward of 'master' - use --force or update manually
gbp:warning: Skipping non-fast forward of 'pristine-tar' - use --force or update manually
gbp:warning: Skipping non-fast forward of 'upstream' - use --force or update manually
Whatever you did - you are doing something very different than others.
Sorry, I have no time to check further but your usage of empty git
repositories sounds very suspicious.
I have currently no time to track this down further.
Hope this helps so far / somebody else will be able to help
Andreas.
