Well, to begin with _something_ is messed up with the way you have it 
packaged:

dget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cndougla/trace-cmd/trace-cmd_1.0.2-1.dsc
rtg at lochsa:~/maverick/trace-cmd$ dpkg-source -x *.dsc
gpgv: Signature made Wed 16 Jun 2010 08:15:12 AM MDT using DSA key ID 
9F95D10F
gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found
dpkg-source: warning: failed to verify signature on ./trace-cmd_1.0.2-1.dsc
dpkg-source: error: cannot fstat file ./trace-cmd_1.0.2-1.debian.tar.gz: 
No such file or directory

Secondly, I was looking at your packaging repo. If it was me, I'd clone 
Rostedt's repo, then add the debian packaging cruft. Its easy enough to 
rebase against an upstream source only project. Heck, he might even take 
your packaging changes.

Finally, when creating the source package be sure to elide all .git stuff.

dpkg-buildpackage -S -rfakeroot -I.git -I.gitignore -i'\.git.*'

I also would not bother with an orig tarball.
