Thank you for your hint, I think now I get the idea of what went wrong ;) Ok but one question remains: When I unpacked the original sources, I had to rename the resulting dir to calm dh_make down -- when I now unpack the .zip in order to make an .orig.tar.gz out of it, do I have to rename the dir too or has the .orig.tar.bz an exact copy of the .zip?
