In principle yes. A `ssh alioth.debian.org` before might show any
potential problems - specifically if something occures the '-v' option
might be enlightening.

Its advisable to use the script /git/debian-med/setup-repository which
is mentioned in the link above. I can not give an educated answer about
submodules since I never used this and thus can not give proper advise.
I personally strongly relay on the workflow to obtain a tarball from a
github first using the template for a watch file given here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/package_template/watch?view=markup
Simply remove everything except
version=3
https://github.com/#GITHUBUSER#/#PACKAGE#/releases .*/archive/#PREFIX#(\d[\d.-]+)\.(?:tar(?:\.gz|\.bz2)?|tgz)
fill in the placeholders and fetch a tarball using
uscan --verbose --force-download
Once you have the tarball you can import it into the Debian packaging
Git repository using
git import-orig --pristine-tar /path/to/package_version.orig.tar.gz
I know that from a Git perspective it sounds a bit cumbersome since you
have the code in Git yet. However, the idea behind this is that you are
maintaining *packaging* code here - not upstream code - and this
approach also works for all kind of software (even what is not (yet ;-))
maintained in Git).
I hope that this advise is clear enouth and does not tweak your mind too
much from an upstream maintainers perspective on his own source code.
Kind regards
Andreas.
