Usually, it is a good idea to keep the original tarball as it is, so the directory it unpacks to should not be changed. dpkg-buildpackage will handle it if it doesn't unpack to the "correct" name. The reason for keeping the original is as far as I understood it that the md5 checksum is the same as the distributed version. However, since your distribution is a zip file, and not a tar.gz, that doesn't work anyway. So you can make it the renamed directory I guess. But there's not really any reason to do so, as dpkg-buildpackage doesn't need it. So I would just unzip, then tar -czf, and name it .orig.tar.gz.
