Are you sure the files are in the correct order in the tar file?

Why not let dpkg-deb -b do the job of creating the package? You should
just create a directory with the files and a DEBIAN sub-directory, it
would be much easier for your script.

Is there any reason why you don't want to have debian packaging files
alongside the specs file instead of doing some less-than-perfect
auto-conversion?

Do you know that "alien" already exists to convert between RPM and DEB?
