When I built expat [1] I stumbled over an issue, that I wuld call a bug.
I built expat 2.0.1-1. dpkg-source added the .orig.tar.gz to the .dsc
file. But dpkg-genchanges did not include the .orig tarball to the
.changes file. This resulted in an incomplete upload and dget failed to
retreive the source, because it missed the .orig.tar.gz.
I guess, that the issue is related to the fact, that there is an entry
for version 2.0.1-0ubuntu1 in the changelog, but I did not yet examine
it. I will provide more information if possible.
IMHO dpkg-genchanges should include the .orig tarball by default for debian
revisions -1.

Your diagnostic is right and reading the manual page of dpkg-genchanges
would have confirmed it.
The current approximation is right in more cases than the previous one
(which included the source for all -0, -0.1 and -1 uploads). -1 uploads
after -0.1 NMU would have included upstream sources while it was not
desired, now it detects that the previous changelog entry is the same
upstream version and doesn't include the sources by default.
Please use "-sa" if you want to force the inclusion of .orig. files
because you included changelog entries that do not concern Debian.
Thus closing the bug unless you have a better suggestion on how to
reliably detect if a package has already been uploaded to Debian
beforehand.
Cheers,
