Ofcourse you mean tar+gzip that, as orig is always tar.gz; alhough I think it's quite unefficient to have upstream source in tar.bz2 in some dir, and tar.gz it into orig.tar.gz ... Sometimes I feel that it would be better to utilize source mirrors. I mean Debian ftp servers would carry the diff.gz+dsc files, but not the package source (orig.tar.gz) - instead a mirror list for that source should be maintained, and automagically downloaded by 'apt-get source' from the first available.
