You should prepare a ‘….orig.tar.gz’ that contains all the
non-Debian-packaging source (i.e. everything except the ‘debian/’
directory), and a ‘….diff.gz’ that applies the Debian packaging to
that tarball.
Read the Debian Developer's Reference for guidance on this.

Your program is not Debian-specific, so it should be a non-native
package; thus, its package version string should have an “upstream”
version (the version number of the program work) and a release number
(the number of Debian packaging releases made of the same version),
separated by a dash.
Read the Debian Policy Manual for the exact format of the version
string.
