Sorry for unnecessary fuss. I've just solved the problem. It was necessary to untar the gs-aladdin_5.10.orig.tar.gz manually, cut the ".orig" extension from the directory name, create the debian and contrib subdirectories, apply the diff maually, set exec permissions for debian/rules and debian/addentry, and finally build the package. Now I have a working gs-aladdin_5.10-3 in bo :-).
