You need to upload the .orig.tar.gz

 a)  when you have a new upstream release or

 b)  you have modified the .orig.tar.gz from the last
     debian release.  This should not happen but it was
     needed by some of my packages or

 c)  somebody has removed your package(s) from the archive.

Note: the .orig.tar.gz ideally should not be touched once
uploaded.
