Thanks for the report. This is a very new tool and as you can see it
has some rough edges both in docs and (at least) error messages.

I did dgit clone img2pdf and it appears to have no patches.
I'm not sure why you think you need git-debrebase ?
If you really want to use it (eg you are about to start a patch queue)
you will need git-debrebase convert-from-gbp.
Which bits of dgit-maint-debrebase gave you the impression you could
just dgit clone without doing more ? (You're the 2nd perso to think
this, but I think your context is different...)

This error message is fixed in git but not in 6.4.
My current branch says this instead:
git-debrebase: error: found unprocessable commit, cannot cope; bare
dgit dsc import: (commit d3481fe48afe150f38f331048abe6452b8389723)
(d.0x30 0x32)
Related UI bugs are:
#905005 Want better user hinting for unprocessable commits
#905279 Suggest `dgit convert-from-dgit-view` sometimes
