Yes definitely !

1.
As explained before this release changed SONAME. So I was thinking of
doing instead:

$ gbp import-orig --debian-branch=3Ddebian/experimental --pristine-tar
../openslide_4.0.0+dfsg.orig.tar.xz

In the end I do my experimental uploads using:

$ gbp dch -a --debian-branch=3Ddebian/experimental

Is there a way to tweak the git repo in that way ?

2.

I believe you need to push upstream + tag 4.0, see what I have:


 % git log origin/upstream | head -5
commit ce68a6073c47185641108cb08f98cc3b647f3c92
Author: Mohammed Bilal <[email protected]>
Date:   Mon May 23 17:44:25 2022 +0000

    New upstream version 3.4.1+dfsg

% git tag
debian/3.4.1+dfsg-1
debian/3.4.1+dfsg-2
debian/3.4.1+dfsg-4
debian/3.4.1+dfsg-5
debian/3.4.1+dfsg-6
debian/3.4.1+dfsg-7
upstream/3.4.1+dfsg
