I don't agree: the 'debian' directory is IMHO not part of the original sources, the .orig.tar.gz and the .diff have just not been properly generated (the original source archive is even part of the modified source archive). You need to generate a new *clean* original archive, without your changes (especially the ./debian sub-directory). What I don't understand is how you come to a version 0.11a, where the only version found on GanttPV is 0.10!? Sidenote: from different discussions on this list, my understanding is that a debian-native package is not a package where upstream happens to have a ./debian sub-directory in their source, but a package for a software specifically meant for Debian (e.g. debhelper).
