yes it it: you have to provide a programmatical way to
retrive/generate the orig.tar.gz, either downloading from upstream
website (as usually done for a "real" release) of with that
get-orig-source target. The code I link you to generates the tarball,
starting from the revision number you used in debian/changelog.
