Okay, here's the thing:

OBS needs a 'gambas3.dsc' and a 'debian.tar.gz' file to trigger the DEB 
build.

It doesn't matter whether these are actually used, because corresponding 
'gambas3-Debian_*.dsc' and 'debian-Debian_*.tar.gz' exist.

So I suggest simply copying a configuration, e.g:
cp -p gambas3-Debian_12.dsc gambas3.dsc
cp -p debian-Debian_12.tar.gz debian.tar.gz

This could probably best be installed somewhere here
https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/blob/master/app/src/gambas-package-config/.src/Main.module?ref_type=heads#L150

This should be possible without much pain.
