Ah, that's a good point.  I'll make sure to not point people to the git tarball anymore.

This means that dpkg-buildpackage expects to be inside of a
Git repository when building the package.  It looks like
you're using a tarball export of a specific Git rev.

You can work around it by using the following magic:

 $ rm -rf debian/source
 $ sed -i s/1-1/1/ debian/changelog

And then:

 $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
