The core of the problem lies in invalid Debian packaging format
configuration, which is set to native in 'debian/source/format' which
can not contain Debian revision number in version (value you entered
in debian/changelog file). 'native' packages are only packages, which
are developed directly in Debian project, thus upstream is Debian and
no revision is needed. GRASS is not native one.
We should really move to Debian packaging done inside of DebianGIS [1]
for final 7.0 version (Sebastiaan from DebianGIS in CC). I can provide
some help for this.

As a quick solution for your problem, is to set package version in
debian/chagelog to something like 7.0.0~RC2-1 [2]
