to me source files is always the preferred method to go. If that adds
build-deps no problem with me. 

OTOH there is nothing wrong with binary files that come with a proper
license/copyright and can be recreated by available tools with a
documented procedure.

So if you want my recommendation: go for the larger build-deps and text
files for your orig.tar.gz. That's always easier to review just in case.
