I changed the strategy to git revert and now I am able to build the 
package with the following commands:

gbp clone 
git@salsa.debian.org:python-team/applications/visualequation.git
cd visualequation/
uscan
git revert HEAD # "Revert last commit due to human error"
dch -v 0.3.8-1
dpkg-source --commit
  -> Enter the desired patch name: 
0001-Imported-Upstream-version-0.3.8.patch
git add debian/changelog debian/patches/*
git commit -m "Fixing upstream version 0.3.8"
debuild -us -uc

Do you find it correct/appropriate?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
