Both of these files are produced during the generation of the Debian
package, using dpkg-buildpackage. You don't need these files.

You simply need an unpacked GCompris tarball, in which you put the
debian/ directory that you can borrow from an older version of
the GCompris package available in Debian/Ubuntu.

In a nutshell, something like:

 1. Download the tarball of gcompris 8.4.8
 2. tar xzf gcompris-8.4.8.tar.gz
 3. Get the source of the debian package:
    apt-get source gcompris
 4. Copy the debian/ directory to the new GCompris version:
    cp -a gcompris_8.4.x/debian/ gcompris-8.4.8/
 5. Add a new entry in gcompris-8.4.8/debian/changelog
 6. Make any other needed modifications to gcompris-8.4.8/debian/
 7. Compile the package:
    cd gcompris-8.4.8
    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
 8. If it doesn't work, go to 6.

Sincerly,

Thomas
