I can tell you both that such an upload won't be rejected by dak as long
as the .orig.tar.gz is the very same as the one that was previously
uploaded.
Honestly, I'm somewhat partial on putting such archive-dependant
information in lintian is alright (dak is only one of the many debian
archive software out there…).


Also, to put the .tar.gz.asc in the git repository you'll need to ask
pristine-tar to do a new "commit" (see man pristine-tar for "commit");
that said if I were you I'd just manually checkout to the pristine-tar
branch and git commit the .asc file…  (you'll see if that worked if
`pristine-tar list` list the file once you go back to the master
branch).
