Indeed, I mostly use the '${VCS}-buildpackage' commands, which is why
I am accustomed to upstream source appearing in '../tarballs/'. I had
expected 'pbuilder' (and, by extension, 'pdebuild') to behave the
same.

I can't see any option on the 'dpkg-buildpackage' manpage to tell it
the location of the upstream source tarball. What option do I need?
