It's just the same as you would do with apt-get source if you're in
Debian sid.

There is no --pristine-source option for git-import-orig but I think you
mean --pristine-tar. Pristine-tar is preferred because it's using the
original upstream tarball instead of recreating it from it's extract in
git, right?
