This is because Thorsten decided to move the complete tarball straight
into the *.deb package which is a very untypical decision and I was
reasoning about this several times in this thread.  So after a

    debuild

it is correct to find a tarball in debian/<packagename> because this
is also in the *.deb.  If you do a

    make -f debian/rules clean

this should vanish and the debian/ dir should be as clean as before.

For these cases we have the hello package.  So an

  $ apt-get source hello
  $ cd hello-2.7
  $ debuild

might be a good exercise in any case but I think Luis is on the right
track.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
