Install pbuilder.
It will contruct a chroot system for you, and can easily build a packge from
source in the chroot system (easily as in a single command). And it looks for
the orig.tar.gz and automatically moves it into the chroot, honouring the
upstream orig.tar.gz and solving this problem.
You just have to copy the created files out of /var/cache/pbuilder/result (or
wherever) and sign the .dsc and .changes files with debsign.
It works wonders, and you can have multiple chroot systems set up (woody,
sarge, sid) for example, specifying which one to use on the command line et
cetera.
