Is "all of the files (.orig.tar.gz, diff, changes, dsc, and binary
package(s)) relating to your package" not strong enough? I would have
thought it would have been clear enough. Just writing "source package"
would be less informative, IMHO. This way, at least, there's half a chance
that people will notice that they're missing some files...
If you'd like to suggest a better wording for the paragraph, I'd be happy to
include it. I just can't think of a clearer way to express it.
