help please git-buildpackage-ppa + kf5 merges

[Scarlett Clark]

I am trying to do 5.3.2 backports and slamming into walls everytime I turn 
around. I am about to give up.

plasma-nm needs non existent modemmanager-qt-dev and I am told vivid needs a 
newer kf5.
So I run the script for kf5 and get a pile of failures with not something we 
can merge. 
merge: origin/kubuntu_stable - not something we can merge

looking in gitgui kubuntu_stable does not exist. Are frameworks handled 
differently?

So now I am trying to do these by hand so I dont blow up CI again and
git-buildpackage-ppa -d vivid --distversion 15.04 does not generate the 
proper files for dput to upload the source and my uploads are rejected as no 
source is being uploaded.
dput ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-frameworks ../build-area/attica-
kf5_5.11.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1_source.changes 

Uploading to ppa (via ftp to ppa.launchpad.net):
  Uploading attica-kf5_5.11.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1.dsc: done.
  Uploading attica-kf5_5.11.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1.debian.tar.xz: done.  
  Uploading attica-kf5_5.11.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa1_source.changes: done.
Successfully uploaded packages.

Rejected:
Unable to find attica-kf5_5.11.0.orig.tar.xz in upload or distribution.
Files specified in DSC are broken or missing, skipping package unpack 
verification.

This used to work fine, what changed? Am I having a senior moment? How do I 
get this to upload source?
Thanks,
Scarlett
