Upstream packaging can be in the upstream branches with no problem, many 
packages are also published by the upstream authors. I think that gbp 
import-orig cleans out debian/ when doing an import.

I would take https://optimizedbyotto.com/post/debian-packaging-from-git/ 
as instructions as you're starting anew anyway. Maybe you would also 
commit an git rm -r debian/ between the two git checkout -b calls. I do 
not have experience with that but I would take a look at your repository 
before you upload.

Do you want me to create debian/vzlogger on salsa and to give you 
privileges, or are you a DD yourself? If you want me to help here, just 
give me your salsa username.

Greetings
Marc
