This does read quite funny to me. "To reproduce what t2u did and get to the source package, you need this SOURCE_VERSION tarball plus the orig

I think I see where it comes from (space savings), but wonder if that is
a good thing here. Or what do i miss?

This was wording from me.  And you are right, there is a mistake here.

There are two cases:

 * The .orig was in the archive already, in which case will need it to
   reproduce the t2u output.  Ie, in this case it's an input.

 * The .orig was *not* in the archive already.  In which case t2u made
   it and (obviously) you don't need to provide it.  It's an output.

How about:

  (Together with any existing .orig.tar which was already
  present in the archive.)

For uploads not including the full source the already existing source
tarball present in the archive.

Or something similar. That is, just a bit more focus on the point that
this is for "following" uploads.
