I've been working on documentation here:

See:
https://canonical-git-ubuntu.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/explanation/design_goals_and_principles.html#integrity-requirements
and later on the same page:

In this case it looks like you added the changelog entry, so the commit
supplied in the changes file did not match the upload you performed. In
this case, for integrity reasons the git-ubuntu importer will reject the
supplied commit and synthesize its own to ensure that the final commit
matches the upload.
One way to handle this case (before upload is to make your own fixup
commits, push these to your own namespace, and then supply your own
commit in the changes file.
Once you have your fixup commits ready, `git ubuntu prepare-upload args`
can arrange this for you. See:
https://canonical-git-ubuntu.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/howto/upload.html
I'll mark that particular MP as Merged manually for you. Thank you for
sponsoring!
HTH!
