If the project have not yet been released to Debian, then yes, I believe 
it is as simple as running git-import-orig on top of the already 
imported tarball in the git.

I recommend to use the CDBS features to handle upstream tarballs: 
Include upstream-tarball.mk, add variables about upstream location, and 
use the build target "get-orig-source" to fetch it.

Recently I wrote about its use here: 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2010-August/011747.html

Try read that, and ask if it still does not make sense how to handle it.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
