You don't have a debian-user-german-200202.orig.tar.gz so the package is detected as native package. That means that the full version (200202-1) is taken as upstream version and the directory is expected to be names such. What you have done here is not strictly against policy but frowned upon. You mixed a native package with a debian version. I would suggest one of two things: 1) Use 200202.1 as upstream version keeping it a native package. 2) Create an orig.tar.gz with just the mbox and a diff.gz with the debian dir and keep 200202-1. The mbox files probably never change unless you start cencorship but the debian script might change. Having the two seperate allows for smaller uploads.
