Either way satisfies the requirement that we ship the source. Personally I prefer adding missing sources to the upstream tarball: - Upstream can do it too! - If source and non-source are in different locations, it's easier to miss the source and (needlessly) reject the package. - The source isn't duplicated in every .diff.gz/.debian.tar.* (though this only really matters for larger sources).
