I do, yes. But that is because I already have the orig.tar.gz from
upstream.
If somebody wants to casually build source packages from an older
version, by using a tool such as darcs-buildpackage -- which generates a
diff.gz based on the differences between the two branches -- they'll
need the upstream URL as well.
However, if they are just using it to send me a few patches, the Debian
URL will do just fine.
