Building binary only debs using pdebuild when original .orig.tgz is not available

[Rahul Amaram]

Hi,

When I have a directory with the source code and the debian folder, I 
can directly run "debuild -uc -us -b" and it builds the binary .deb 
packages. But for pdebuild, the original .orig.gz seems to be 
mandatorily required. Is there anyway I can avoid this? The alternative 
would be to create a .orig.tgz by removing the debian folder but I would 
prefer to avoid this. Could I pass some options to pdebuild to avoid this?

My source format is 3.0 (quilt).

Thanks,
Rahul.
