Clearly, this means that the author can require that we provide the
virgin source .tgz along with a patch file to change it to the way we
want it (this is exactly how debian source is distributed in the new
format). So we are still distributing change work (once the source is
unpacked with dpkg-source. But the author can be content that people
have his/her original source available too in a .tar.gz file.
