Oh, I didn't read carefully, my mistake. This is what I have been
doing
* download blurf-NN.tar.gz
* extract it
* rename the directory to <deb-package-name>-<version>
* cd <deb-package-name>-<version>
* execute deb-make
and you can start customising debian/* files. No need to worry about
the .orig directory.
