Unless you happen to have a newer upstream, this will be futile.
According to the katie software, the .orig.tar.gz is fine -- this is
because there is no constraint enforcing same component for the
different source files. And indeed:

/org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/pool/contrib/l/lxdoom/lxdoom_1.4.4.orig.tar.gz

Unfortunately, woody still ships this .orig.tar.gz too.

Other than really uploading a new upstream, this can only be fixed by
some manual SQLing on ftp-master, if the core bug isn't fixed (and there
isn't a patch yet, which would also be complicated, because of
uniqueness-of-filenames assumptions).

So the source is available, but not on the expected spot. This prevents
(auto)building, and automatic source retrieval.

Bottom line: by far easiest is to ensure you get a new upstream. There
are bugreports on ftp.debian.org about this problem, but it's a very
rare cornercase (non-new-upstream versions of packages moving from
contrib to main and such), with a tricky fix.
