package author and maintainer

[Mattia Dongili <dongili@supereva.it>]

Hello,

I'm a wannabe Debian maintainer (already applied the NM program). I
packaged a small daemon (cpufreqd) of which I'm also the author.

I was wondering If I need to package the sources with or without the
.diff.gz archive.

The Developer Reference says:

If a package is developed specially for Debian and is not distributed
outside of Debian, there is just one .tar.gz...

I did not developed it specifically for Debian but it's not a problem to
distribute the upstream version with the Debian modifications included
since I'm also the upstream author.

any suggestion?

thanks
