You missed one file: the .dsc file. Brab that too. Put the tar.gz, the
diff.gz, and the dsc in a dir together and run "dpkg-source -x
file.dsc". Where file.dsc is the dsc file name. Then CD into the
created dir and run "dpkg-buildpackage" as root, or use sudo. This will
create your own debian package from the orig.
