As it is now, I upload a new -upstream- version, but if I want to git-import-orig --uscan, I need to wait for the tar-ball to get replicated to my closest mirror (which takes about 24 hours according to Savannah). I can of course download the tarball by hand, and use git-import-orig on that, but it would be much smoother being able to use --uscan. - It looks like the answer by Daniel Lintott solves my problem.
