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

[Rahul Amaram]

This does what I want:

pdebuild --use-pdebuild-internal --debbuildopts "-uc -us -b"

The only disadvantage is that temporary files get created in the debian 
folder and the binary .deb packages are created in the parent directory. 
So, this is not as clean as not using pdebuild the normal way i.e. 
without --use-pdebuild-internal option.

Thanks,
Rahul.
