No debian/ folder in .deb file



After your answerers on this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2005/05/msg00381.html I tried to edit the tasksel .deb file (just for my own testing purpose atm.)
And I extracted the .deb file to a folder using the dpkg -x command.
Edited some of the files, and thought I could just rebuild the .deb file.

But then I read this one: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/
I found out that I needed some files (http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html) to build the .deb So I thought I would find a debian/ folder in tasksel_2.23_all.deb, but I don't.

Why not? Don't you need some of those files to build the .deb in the first place?
