You still have the possibility to repackage the upstream tarball to add the missing directory (and do it semi-automatically with an helper in a debian/rules target) or teach the upstream maintainer to create tarballs with a top-level directory. FWIW, I don't think that including the pristine tarball inside the .orig.tar.gz is a good idea just to satisfy the people that like us to ship pristine tarballs when the upstream tarball is broken. If you can't have pristine tarball == orig.tar.gz then I consider it repackaging anyway.
