I use:
gbp import-orig --verbose --filter '*/debian/*' --filter '*/.pc/*' --pristine-tar --filter-pristine-tar --merge-mode=replace --uscan --sign-tags --keyid=41C3D4189AFEDB5A
I did a test and I suppose you didn't set upstream repository (with git remote add) and/or keep fetch it (before gbp import-orig). Also add "--upstream-vcs-tag="%(version)s"" that is different by default.
I don't know if there is anything better to do that norbert could
recommend, what i use if i remember correctly is based on what
maxy advised me years ago

@Joshua: I saw your recent commits about new 5.0.x, I don't have time
for a full review now but I saw that upstream branch have only one
additional commit (and not all the upstream ones), what parameters do
you use in "gbp import-orig"?
For example I use (after git fetch of upstream repository): gbp
import-orig --verbose --filter '*/debian/*' --filter '*/.pc/*'
--pristine-tar --filter-pristine-tar --upstream-vcs-tag="%(version)s"
--merge-mode=replace --uscan
