You could just do it manually by taking the latest dsc from the archive:
$ dget http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sox/sox_14.4.1-5.dsc

And then doing a normal dsc import:
$ gbp import-dsc --pristine-tar sox_14.4.1-5.dsc

That worked for me. Of course there is no history. You could also import
the version in old-old stable first, but there doesn't seem much point
in that.

Cheers,
