I tried to package gnudatalanguage a while ago, the orig.tar.gz contains
this:
gnudatalanguage-0.8.99+0.9pre6/gdl-0.9pre6.tar.gz

and this is the (working) rules file I used:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

DEB_TAR_SRCDIR := gdl-0.9pre6

DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_ACLOCAL  := 1.9
DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_AUTOMAKE := 1.9
DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_AUTOCONF := 2.59
DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_LIBTOOL  := pre

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/tarball.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk

DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS := --with-fftw=yes
DEB_DH_INSTALL_SOURCEDIR := $(DEB_SRCDIR)
DEB_INSTALL_DOCS_ALL += $(DEB_SRCDIR)/PYTHON.txt

# Remove usr/lib/libantlr.a
binary-post-install/gnudatalanguage::
        $(RM) -r debian/gnudatalanguage/usr/lib

clean::
        $(RM) *.cdbs-config_list
