Sounds like a sensible plan. > The first question I have is what repository should I work from? For now, I > cloned > https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/debian-med/fis-gtm.git That's annonymous. You should rather clone (or set remote origin to): ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/fis-gtm.git Please use git import-orig --pristine-tar <new_upstream_tarball> (and nothing else) to do your first step (Incorporate the updated sources). If you then try `git push` you will see whether you have commit permissions. > I have keys established on alioth which I used to access the SVN repositories.

You need to tweak the debian/ dir between git import-orig --pristine-tar and git-buildpackage The bare minimum is to dch -i to create a new changelog entry. Feel free to come up on this list with any question you might have.
