Hi Arnaud,
Sorry for my delayed reply.

Please tell me if I'm stubbornly missing something.
I believe this is a bug in gbp import-orig. When it imports the tarball,
it clobbers the submodule somehow.
I believe I've found the solution, and it looks to me like we have been
over-thinking this.
Like you, I started a new repository based on the v2.0.0 tag.
git clone --recurse-submodules
https://salsa.debian.org/hmc/maxminddb-golang.git
git switch upstream/latest
git remote add upstreamvcs https://github.com/oschwald/maxminddb-golang.git
git fetch --recurse-submodules upstreamvcs
git merge v2.1.0
git switch debian/latest
uscan -v
# git push --all
# git push --tags
For me, this sequence updates the upstream repository and generates the
correct tarball while keeping `git submodule show` enabled.
Let me know how you go with this.
Hugh
