- unzip severedfifth-nightmaresbydesign-2010-ogg.zip
- tar -cvf severedfifth-nightmaresbydesign-2010.orig.tar.gz severedfifth-nightmaresbydesign-2010-ogg.zip
- make a folder names the same as the tar file (minus the .orig.gz part) severedfifth_nightmaresbydesign-2010
- from the severedfifth_nightmaresbydesign-2010 folder, issue the dh_make command.

Building the source package :
