the "-orig" is the pristine source code, straight from the author(s). I
believe that the "-diff" contains the modifications made by the Debian
maintainers to make it fit easily into Debian, as diff(1) output. If you
want to see the code used to make the actual debian package, untar the
"orig", and then use patch(1) to apply the "diff".

Personally, I never bother with the diffs -- I like to keep things as
simple as possible. (However, you may have to for one reason or
another.)
