I don't understand your question completely. THe texlive tree is NOT the
debian NOR the full pachage dir, it contains the scripts which are used
to build the texlive packages.
Please check out the whole stuff (it is not so much) and read the top
level README where I tried to explaoin a bit how everything works.
The .orgi.tar.gz you should get from one of the mirrors, or get the TeX
live CDROM and build it with
tpm2deb.pl make-orig-tar --master=<PATHTOMASTEROFCD> srcpackagename ...
(see Makefile which should pretty straight forward).
I hope to extend the README in due time, but in the meantime, happy perl
hacking, it is bad, I told you ..
Best wishes
Norbert
