Sorry, the script is get-orig-source.sh

I didn't include it in debian/rules file, to keep things clean (in my opinion, since this script isn't used when building or cleaning the package).

Do you think I should add it again in rules file?

Googling around I found many get-orig-source.sh scripts, all those packages are bugged then?
I wrote it in this way starting from another debian package!

let me know if I need to merge it back in rules file

Thanks for your answers
