source problem ( the file .orig.tar.gz ). The former maintainer, has

I don't really know how to handle this case : should we keep the
upstream tarball or should we use the former tarball ?
You should be able to use the orig.tar.gz in debian already, then build
your package against that. I don't think there is a mechanism to do
anything else.
FWIW, tar.gz files contain timestamps of creation time, so each time you
make one, you'll get a different md5sum anyway.
