Hey Paul,
thx for your hints. I managed to get git send-email to work and send it
with signed-off-by line.
Regarding your question; The debian-binary needs to be the first member
of the archive, then control.tar.gz and then the data.tar.gz.
Have a look at "man 5 deb" there is a detailed description how the
archive should look like.
Greetings,
Thilo
