I'm still missing the .diff.gz

I do not understand, what you say. dh_make normally created me a 
.orig.tar.gz and dpkg-buildpackage created an .tar.gz, if there is
no directory named .orig and no .orig.tar.gz

This might be OK. Current kernel-patch- packages seem to be both native
packages and non-native packages.

If there are changes or adoptions of the patches for debian, it might be
usefull to create an .orig.tar.gz yourself so that theese changes are
better visible. But I've never packaged something with kernel-patches,
better collect other opinions to this.
