dpkg-source will check for existence of
../package_upstream-version.orig.tar.gz
when it is being invoked, and will switch modes depending on that.
For example, for glib-mingw32-2.0 package version 2.0.1-6, you can have
glib-mingw32-2.0_2.0.1.orig.tar.gz
and it will create
glib-mingw32-2.0_2.0.1-6.diff.gz
glib-mingw32-2.0_2.0.1-6.dsc

Okay, I see what you mean.
It might be better to use a different architecture, and
maintain it through chroots, but current system you are
taking should probably work also. (it might be nice
to switch to using architectures when Debian/mingw is
self-hosting).
