Looks like the issue might be your version number. You are adding
-doudou2 to the end of the Debian version. The upstream version is
therefore 0.1.17b-2 instead of 0.1.17b. So the build tools are expecting
vkeybd_0.1.17b-2.orig.tar.gz instead of vkeybd_0.1.17b.orig.tar.gz.

The solution would be to use a Debian revision that does not contain a
dash character (0.1.17b-2doudou2 instead of 0.1.17b-2-doudou2).

Please read the Debian policy to get more info about the semantics of
Debian package version numbers:
