This is 0.4.28. git-import-orig could call pristine tar as:
  pristine-tar commit <path_to_tarball> <tag_object>

I think it would be better if it called the tag object instead of the upstream 
branch name, since in the latter case, it will always fail since it's finding 
a local upstream branch (refs/heads/upstream) and a remote upstream branch 
(refs/remotes/origin/upstream).
