In my first mail about the RC candidate I suggested the version
mne-python_0.7~rc1.orig.tar.gz
(please mind the '~'). I'm not sure whether git supports this character
in its tags but please note that this is important for the following
reason:
$ if dpkg --compare-versions 0.7~rc1 gt 0.6 ; then echo "0.7~rc1 is greater
than 0.6"; fi
0.7~rc1 is greater than 0.6
$ if dpkg --compare-versions 0.7~rc1 gt 0.7 ; then echo "0.7~rc1 is greater
than 0.7"; else echo "FAILURE: 0.7~rc1 is NOT GREATER than 0.7"; fi
FAILURE: 0.7~rc1 is NOT GREATER than 0.7
$ if dpkg --compare-versions 0.7rc1 gt 0.7 ; then echo "0.7rc1 is greater than
0.7"; else echo "FAILURE: 0.7rc1 is NOT GREATER than 0.7"; fi
0.7rc1 is greater than 0.7
So we need to make sure that dpkg considers your release candidate a
smaller version than the final release and thus we need to use 0.7~rc1
... at least for the Debian packaging. This could be ironed out in
d/watch by using dversionmangle - but as long as there is no final
upload and we are targeting at 0.7 for the first upload anyway there
is no point in beeing to picky. Just to let you know why I'm using
0.7~rc1 below!

Hmmm, besides the fact that I did renamed the tarball to
mne-python_0.7~rc1.orig.tar.gz
this worked for me. Did you verified that the file you try to import
really exists?

The tarball simply needs to exist - no real magic otherwise. Worked for
me like a charm.

If you used gbp-clone above you should get
(master) $ git branch
* master
pristine-tar
upstream
This is the usual git-buildpackage layout we are using in Debian Med
team.

As I tried to make clear in our initial conversation the repository on
git.debian.org and your upstream repository on github are not really
interconnected via Git. We simply import some tarball by fully ignoring
that it is originated from some Git repository. It is simply a tarball
and we are (as a consequence) ignoring all the history inbetween the
released tarballs. As I told you there are pros and cons of this method
but this generic way has proven to work nicely in the past.
In short: If I'm talking about "the" Git repository I always mean
ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/mne-python.git

If needed you can reach me via jabber at til...@gmail.com . Another
chance would be IRC at OFTC channel #debian-med - but I have no access
to IRC on business hours and you need to ping me in advance if you
want to IRC with me.
In any case I have imported 0.7~rc1 and pushed the changes. Please pull
and have a look. I tried to be verbose in commit logs. In any case you
should enhance the long description. A minimum text would be what you
injected in the ITP bug #728797 - a bit more would be nice.
You get this kind of information when you call
lintian -i -I <pkgname>_<debversion>_<arch>.changes
Feel free to continue bothering us with questions if something remains
unclear.
Kind regards
Andreas.
