Hmmm... thanks but... our docs say to:

1. Untar upstream and mv it to source-<version>

2. cd into source-<version> and run dh_make

3. dh_make produces a source-<version>.orig  <-- not .tar.gz yet...

4. modify stuff in source-<version>

5. run "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" in source-<version>

When I do this, the source-<version>.orig is tar'd up into
source_<version>.orig.tar.gz as expected, but I get

dpkg-genchanges: not including original source code in upload
dpkg-buildpackage: diff-only upload (original source NOT included)

at the end of the build even though I havn't specified -b or -B on
the build. I must specify -sa on the build to make it upload the source.

Without the source, I am getting a REJECT from master after dupload
due to mismatch md5sums.

PS. This is not a new package. This is an old package back at 2.3.0.1
standard. It was easier for me to run dh_make and patch the old debian
stuff into the newer debhelper to make it current.
