Best way is to plop the original tarball below your build directory as
sourcepackagename_upstreamversion.orig.tar.gz.

For example...

hybserv-1.8.0/           hybserv_1.8.0-2_i386.changes
hybserv_1.8.0-2.diff.gz  hybserv_1.8.0-2_i386.deb
hybserv_1.8.0-2.dsc      hybserv_1.8.0.orig.tar.gz

dpkg-source (invoked by debuild or dpkg-buildpackage) will do the rest
of the work for you.

Regards,
Josh
