When building the Debian package with dpkg-buildpackage, the following error is 
received:

  dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no upstream tarball found at ../pymds_0.3.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}

This is because debian/source/format contains:

  3.0 (quilt)

If you are only building a binary package, you can work around this by passing 
the '-b' flag to dpkg-buildpackage. However, if you want to build a source 
package to upload to a build server, this must be fixed like so:

  $ echo '3.0 (native)' > debian/source/format

dpkg-buildpackage and the like then work correctly (including the automagic 
creation of a .tar.gz).

The debian/control file specifies:

  Section: unknown

It should use a real Debian section. For example, the bind9 package uses:

  Section: net

Not using a real section prevents it from working with Launchpad PPA.
