I see that it's a so-called native package. Since your library is useful
outside Debian, you should not put the debian/ directory inside the
libhyphenate_1.1.0.tar.gz file. Rather, you have a
libhyphenate_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz without the debian/ directory, you unpack
it, add the debian/ directory, and change the version number in
debian/changelog to 1.1.0-1. If you then build the package, it will
create a .diff.gz file with just the Debian specific changes.

That is the right way. Once you have a sponsor he should be able to help
you figure out the last details.
