Most of my experience is in the debian-hpc group, and everything I have run into uses pristine-tar to archive the original source. > d/control Upstream-Contact specifies your information.

The second Files paragraph doesn't reference a license. I think it's supposed to have this information, but lintian isn't complaining about it. d/copyright should probably attribute Files:* to upstream and d/* to the maintainer. In d/control, Vcs-Git is incorrect. Vcs-Browser points to an unknown repository page. d/changelog needs to reference the ITP bug number, like (Closes: #12345).
