Ahh that would have been my mistake. I thought there would have been a
single .deb file that contained the source package similar to that of
source rpm's.

I have those files listed below (Excepting the package_1.0-1.diff.gz) as
there are no differences that need to be applied for debian. So a
"source distribution" would just include the .dsc and .tar.gz file.

Thanks,
