just craft get-orig-sources rule for debian/rules which would create the
target .tar.gz (or actually multiple ones, e.g. .orig.tar.gz and
.xorg.tar.gz  since 3.0 (quilt) supports it; but afaik git-buildpackage
doesn't natively support multiple source tarballs yet... although I
recall using it somehow...).  Then you just pristine-tar that beast

or may be Ola has better suggestions from his experience with vnc pkgs
