Named package contains a directory debian which has to be put into the
source. The correct unpackaging and potential applying of patches can be
performed with
 dpkg-source -x evince_2.30.3-2+squeeze1.dsc evince2
which unpacks the source into a directory called evince2. In order to do
that, you need the files evince_2.30.3-2+squeeze1.dsc,
evince_2.30.3-2+squeeze1.debian.tar.gz, and evince_2.30.3.orig.tar.gz.
The package is built by invoking the rules script in the debian
subdirectory:
 cd evince2
 fakeroot debian/rules binary
You need to install the packages gnome-pkg-tools and gnome-doc-utils to
provide some necessary build tools.
