I think the problem is that you haven’t included “--pristine-tar” in “gbp 
push”.  However, if you want to use pristine-tar (which I highly recommend 
because it makes sure that everyone working on a package has the same version 
of the .orig.tar.gz, so that when different people upload -X revisions they 
don’t fails because the .orig.tar.gz is subtly different), I would recommend 
it add it to debian/gbp.conf.  When you do this, you don’t need to add "--
pristine-tar" to any of the commands because it is added automatically.  For 
example, see:

debian/master/debian/gbp.conf?ref_type=heads
