Hi Mike,

Can i ask how you retrieved the source?  The error is that it is
missing the upstream (orig) source tarball in the location about the
working directory.

One workflow:
 - apt-get source openvswitch
 - cd openvswitch*
 - $do stuff
 - dch -i
 - debuild -S
 - cd ../

You should now have a source package that you can build either on your
system, pbuilder, sbuild or a PPA.

Hope this helps.
