You can consider adding a link here that refers to the discussion of orig.tar.gz files in the developer's reference, oh, no, it's not yet there (see #278524). Maybe later. This would also provide an explanation for the "Usually" at the beginning of the paragraph above, namely when it should unpack into <packagename>-<upstream-version>.orig/. > The dh_make command usually takes care creation of orig.tar.gz file.
