The binary delta is between the original tarball and the collection of Git objects corresponding to its content. Usually, we import the tarball with the git-buildpackage helper, which takes care of pristine-tar. In your case, you already have an upstream branch with tags corresponding to version numbers of releases. The command 'pristine-tar commit' should therefore help you to populate a pristine-tar branch, if you want. If I understand well, the Git repository on Alioth is a clone of RayGit, on top of which you have added RayPlatform ? In that case, a pristine-tar binary delta would contain a full copy of RayPlatform. But given the size (856 here), it may not be a problem if the number or releases is limited. What you can also do is generate an orig.tar.gz tarball from the Git repository on Alioth, and then commit it in the pristine-tar branch. This said, there is no problem on Debian's side to package RayPlatform separately. This is what I do with fastx-toolkit and libgtextutils.
