Unfortunately this is not true. I still get the message:

meskes@feivel:~/upload/umsdos-0.9$ export LANG=C; dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is umsdos
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.9-8
dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>
dpkg-buildpackage: build architecture is i386
 sudo debian/rules clean
...
 dpkg-source -b umsdos-0.9
parsechangelog/debian: error: unable to open substvars file
debian/substvars: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
dpkg-source: error: syntax error in parsed version of changelog at line 0:
empty file

If there is no subtvars file it isn't even able to see the package name. So
I guess the substvars file must not be deleted. Correct?
