I may be able to help here. But if someone else sponsor it I would
be quite happy. :-)

Yes the full source must be available, and we are _not_ allowed to
download anything during the build process. Actually some autobuilders
have by intention no network support in the build root.
I have always re-generated a new orig.tar.gz file using two sources.
If you look into vnc4 package you can see that the source file is a
combination of vnc 4.1.1 and Xfree 4.3.0. You can even see that in the
version name of the package.
Unpack vnc4 source package and read debian/README.GENERATED and you
can see how I did.
