The orig.tar.gz file is not the Debian source package; it's the copy of the
upstream source used by Debian.  The Debian source package is the .dsc file
together with the other files referenced by the .dsc.  The recommended
method for downloading and unpacking a Debian source package is one of the
following:

  apt-get source $package_name

or

  dget http://server/url/for/package.dsc
  dpkg-source -x package.dsc
