Yes, but there's an automated way to do this. Get the .tar.gz file,
the .diff.gz file, and the .dsc file. Run dpkg-source -x mgetty_*.dsc .

We changed the package layout. Look for a debian subdirectory
containing files like "rules", "control", etc.
You might have to install the "debmake" package if any part of its utilities
was used to produce that package.
