Because dpkg-source -b builds above source tarball with debian directory (= recipe) included

Benoit is trying to do quilt builds and thus now only needs debian archive of the recipe and a .dsc.
And maybe a gambas source tarball without recipe -> but I think vcs-git in control might take care of that, depending on the debian package tools osb uses
I think so because, Paolo didn't build with a source package added, as quilt builds apparently pick their code from upstream (being our gitlab the way I constructed the recipe)

But there where some problems:
- first indicated that osb wanted to build source from a quilt recipe using dpkg-source -b, that failed (so I suggested native build as that will not fail this)
- then nezt build(s) the recipe created with gambas-package-tool made some errors, so build failed on that..
- now versions seems to be problematic. Debian is very strict about version numbers, taking them from changelog for making packages. If osb changes that without adapting changelog and who knows what more, debian package tools will NOT build.

So, the saga continues.
Meanwhile issuccesfully build on both ububtu 22.04 and 24.04, with base debian12 recipe and some small modifications.
Only need to create a repo for both and test if they install and run.
