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.)
