well dpkg-source didn't seem to like your dsc (its somewhat strange for a dsc 
to be reffering to a .diff and a .tar.gz that doesn't have .orig in its 
filename.........)

i extracted your tarball and applied the diff manually then renamed the 
original tarball to webmin_1.340.orig.tar.gz changed into the webmin directory 
that i just extracted and patched and ran dpkg-buildpackage.

it errored out, looking closer i found a DEBIAN dir but no debian dir, this is 
completely wrong.

in short it seems you have hacked up a way to build a deb without reading the 
new maintainers guide at all. The result may be ok for debs you distribute on 
sourceforge but its no good at all for inclusion in debian.

you will have to modify debian/rules after debhelper generates it. From your 
descriptions it sounds like you want to make the following changes

remove the $(MAKE) from the build-stamp section
remove the -$(MAKE) clean from the clean section
replace $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/webmin install in the install section 
with an appropriate call to setup.sh. Note that this call must run non 
interactively and must copy the files to a different directory from the one 
they will be run from so you may have to add some more command line options to 
setup.sh to allow that.
