Yes, it does contain them.  This has already been explained to you several
times.  You can see this easily by examining the archive with tar in a woody
chroot.  stable tar does seem to extract the archive OK; however, the
presence of the spurious PaxHeaders.8890 directory confuses dpkg-source.

That belief is incorrect.  If you repack the .orig.tar.gz using tar, it will
fix you prroblem.
