Hi there,
Please notice that you should provide a source package and not a
binary package (as you did).
This can be done by executing dpkg-buildpackage (as I imagine you did)
but with the '-S' option.

Also, there's a FAQ that probably will answer most of your questions that
can be found here:

Regards,
Mauro
