pristine-tar has its own issues, but it's usually trustable, yes.
but I believe you just used a different tarball while doing this, after
6 years.

ah, ok (didn't remember such detail, sorry, but it makes sense)

it's in debhelper(7):
-Ddirectory, --sourcedirectory=directory
Assume that the original package source tree is at the
specified directory rather than the top level
directory of the Debian source package tree.

That menas the upstream changelog is going to be installed with a
different name, and that's against the debian policy:
(unstable)mattia@chase ~/devel/RFS/trend % debdiff 1/trend_1.2-2_amd64.deb
2/trend_1.2-2_amd64.deb
[The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
different names, permissions or owners.]
Files in second .deb but not in first
-------------------------------------
-rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/doc/trend/NEWS.gz
Files in first .deb but not in second
-------------------------------------
-rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/doc/trend/changelog.gz
See policy 12.7:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-changelogs
"If an upstream changelog is available, it should be accessible as
/usr/share/doc/package/changelog.gz in plain text."
So, please revert this.

no, please don't squash the history, just remove the tag, and redo it
once the package is uploaded, to the correct point of the upload.

I also think you errounsly uploaded to ftp-master, didn't you? :)
