It appears the problem is that the changelog has some invalid lines near
the end. I imported the first version manually:

git init sox
cd sox
gbp import-dsc ../sox_11gamma-cb3-5.dsc #this fails
cd ..
dpkg-source -x sox_11gamma-cb3-5.dsc
cp -a sox-11gama-cb3/* sox/
cd sox
git add .
git commit --date="26 Feb 1998 8:50:00 +0100" \
 --author "Geiger Guenter <geiger at iem.mhsg.ac.at>" \
 -m "Import Debian changes 11gamma-cb3-5"

I was then able to use gbp import-dscs on that repo, because the faulty
changelog lines are already in the repo and gbp no longer tries to read
them.

I have pushed my results to
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/fsateler/sox.git if you want to use
them.
