I'm not clear what workflow you think you are aiming for, but I would
first say that what you call a "gbp repo" is fully compatible with dgit,
and also compatible with switching to merging upstream Git history
instead of squashed tarballs.  You would just start merging it.  It
should work fine.

It sounds though that you might like dgit-maint-debrebase(7).
That instructs you to start with 'git debrebase convert-from-gbp'.
Perhaps you'd like to try that out.
