The debian version tag "debian/3.0.0-1" matches the package's version number. You can find the conventions for backport version numbers documented in section 5.6.12.2 of the policy. [1] If your backport version is "3.0.0-1~bpo11+1" then the tag should be "debian/3.0.0-1_bpo11+1" (as ~ is disallowed in git tags). As mentioned, `gbp tag` will do it for you though.
