You do need to have the .orig.tar.* present in the parent directory -
debuild -S won't create it, because it's assumed to come from upstream.

My point wasn't that you should remove .orig.tar.*, but that you
shouldn't need to compress .debian.tar.* by hand.

It should only have a single line (just the "3.0 (quilt)" one).  The
extra lines are weird though probably harmless.
