I'm not really sure, if the missing .orig.tar.gz file is sufficient to decide, if the package maintainer is the author or not. All my packages have orig.tar.gz files because I offer them also via ftp. > Packages with debian developers as thier upstream maintainers, that may be > in use by people outside debian.

May be xteddy where I'm responsible for the overworked release 2.0 as co-author. All these packages are *not very* importand for a working Linux system, but may show the fact that authors could ship their own source also as .orig.tar.gz.
Kind regards Andreas.
