Does upstream not release a tarball?
You might want to look into "split mode" From "bzr help builddeb":
--split Automatically create an .orig.tar.gz from a full
source branch.
Also see:
http://jameswestby.net/bzr/builddeb/user_manual/split.html
Building in split mode automatically separates the debian dir out into
a diff.gz and exports the upstream source into an .orig.tar.gz Sounds
like this might be what you're looking for...
