Yes, but there's an automated way to do this. Get the .tar.gz file, the .diff.gz file, and the .dsc file. Run dpkg-source -x mgetty_*.dsc . > But the result of this action is something what doesn't look like > a debian package. no debian.* files to be found. We changed the package layout. Look for a debian subdirectory containing files like "rules", "control", etc. You might have to install the "debmake" package if any part of its utilities was used to produce that package.
