You should use dpkg-parsechangelog. It's longer but more correct:
chglog=$(dpkg-parsechangelog)
pkg=$(echo "$chglog" | awk '/^Source: /{print $2}')
debversion=$(echo "$chglog" | awk '/^Version: /{print $2}')
version=${debversion%-*}
name=$pkg-$version
> mkdir "$temp/$name-$version.orig"
> tar -czf - . | tar -C "$temp/$name-$version.orig" -xzf -
I would use 'cp -la' instead, as it is faster and cheaper. This is
Debian, after all, so you can assume GNU coreutils.
> mkdir "$dir/$name-$version"
> tar -czf - . | tar -C "$dir/$name-$version" -xzf -
And there.
