debuild is just a wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage, so there's nothing
specific to debuild that needs to be done here.

If you're using a 3.0 (quilt) format source package, you could add

  compression = "gzip"

in debian/source/options.

Alternatively, pass "-Zgzip" to debuild as part of the dpkg-buildpackage
options

  debuild [debuild options] [dpkg-buildpackage options] [--lintian-opts lintian options]

Cheers,
