It varies, but I would say don't commit the orig sources (tarball or otherwise) to svn, but use mergeWithUpstream in order to have svn-buildpackage unpack it automatically. Then, just keep the tarballs locally. > I was investigating some of the existing packages in repository (e.g. > checkstyle) and found 'get-orig-source' section in rules.

Mostly when you are just downloading the tarball verbatim then you just rely on watch/copyright to refer to the upstream location of the tarball and keep local copies. Once you've uploaded it then the debian mirror is the canonical source of that version of the upstream tarball anyway. Mantt -- Matthew Johnson
