make deb is broken in master branch

[onock]

Hello,

after git clone of master branch and running make deb I get:

debuild -I -us -uc
This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be
an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory;
(expected one of tirex_0.8.0.orig.tar.gz, tirex_0.8.0.orig.tar.bz2,
tirex_0.8.0.orig.tar.lzma,  tirex_0.8.0.orig.tar.xz or git.orig)
continue anyway? (y/n) 

answering this with y the next part ends with an error:

After changing this file from 3.0 (quilt) to 3.0 (native) building of deb packages was successful.

But the first question mentioned above is still there and I don't know how to fix this.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04

Kind regards

If anyone encounters this, the following two diffs did the trick for me:

This adds a new version without any dash (such as -pre).

This changed the format to native.

I'm not sure if it's the proper way but at least debuild runs.
