I finally found the time to test again ; on the elpi repository (ocaml
team), I tried:
- directly calling gbp import-orig - same error as before ;

- commit the content of the tarball in the upstream branch by hand
(works, because the tarball is correct) ;

- try to call pristine-tar by hand:

$ pristine-tar commit ../elpi_3.7.1.orig.tar.gz upstream/3.7.1
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
error: excessively large binary delta for /tmp/pristine-
tar.QetZXjDVr2/origtarball
(Please consider filing a bug report.)
pristine-tar: failed to generate delta

so basically the same error message, and I'm still unable to work on my
Debian packages...
