You can avoid resetting or forcing anything by increasing the repacksuffix. As far as both git and the tooling are concerned, that makes it an all new upstream version without conflicts with the repo's current content, so pushing to git works just fine. First update the excluded files in d/copyright and commit that change, then run with the usual 'gbp import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan'. When gbp asks you for the upstream version, modify the +ds part to +ds2 and proceed with that.
