That's what I learned from other developers during my first packaging experience :-), and its difficult to argue if you are a novice .... I also thought that .orig *is* what it says, but I have the impression that often people tend to repackage for this or that reason which could also easily be fixed in debian/rules (just reading a similar discussion on d-d). Anyway: I still had the previous version of the developers reference, and the new chapter 6.7.8 talks exactly about this topic, which should help clarifying it when there are doubts.
