I think thats the point!
I can confirm that on my ubuntu 10.10 (having the same problem). The tar
file doesn't contain dirs. 
According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ cmake was 2.8.0 in lucid and is
now 2.8.2.

I unpacked an inspected the data.tar.gz in a libpano deb file I built
before upgrading on lucid. And it _does_ contain the dirs.

I tried this with libpano. The tar file created by tar contains dirs and
the repacked deb installs nicely.

But ar a doesn't seem to be a valid operation. I used 
#ar r ../libpano13-2.9.17-Linux.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz
data.tar.gz
instead.
