You can import the changes from 1.10 into the repository using a tool such as gbp import-dsc from the git-buildpackage package.

odd Vcs-Git pointer in control file, package fortune-zh
Hi,
I'm a very newbie trying to adopt a package, according to the Debian new
maintainer's guide.
My target package is now fortune-zh, as it seems to be very simple to
work with (to fix chinese character typo that I noticed).
In the 1.10 version (jessie, unstable) of fortune-zh, I found this line
in control:
Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/chinese/fortune-zh.git
So I cloned that Git repo, and then found the latest version in that git
repo is 1.9 ..
Then I looked up for bugs filed for fortune-zh, then found #518054 and
#629014. I didn't found any hint revealing where the newest repo lies.
I wonder if that 1.10 commit was out of nothing?
I have no idea where to clone that newest repo (containing 1.10) so I
can continue my ITA.
This is the 1.10's changelog part:
1 fortune-zh (1.10) unstable; urgency=low
2
3 * QA upload.
4 * Really set Architecture field to 'all'. (Closes:
#518054)
5 * Build package in binary-indep.
6 * Add missing targets build-{arch,indep}.
7 * Maintainer field set to QA Group.
8 * Drop Uploaders field.
9 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.5.
10 * Set debhelper compatibility level to 9.
