is there some special debian command/option for creating this?
(i'm not deliberatly not creating one)

I am not an expert on this, but given that the patched sources from
which the package was built is available in a directory, dpkg-source
with -b option should produce the source tar.gz (and diff .gz if the
original sources are specified). From the man page:

      -b     Build: pack up a source tree. One or two non-option
arguments should be sup‐
             plied. The first is taken as  the  name  of  the
directory  containing  the
             unpacked source tree. If a second argument is supplied
it should be the name
             of the original source directory or tarfile or the empty
string if the pack‐
             age is a Debian-specific one and so has no Debianisation
diffs. If no second
             argument is supplied then dpkg-source will  look  for
the  original  source
             tarfile  package_upstream-version.orig.tar.gz  or the
original source direc‐
             tory directory.orig or the empty string (no original
source, and so no diff)
             depending on the arguments.
