I think this needs clarification. The upstream tarball contains .c .h files and some (non-dfsg-compliant) temporary files. The repack script removes the (non-dfsg-compliant) temporary files and move all the .c .h files into a directory called src/. The build system and friends are added by patches (among those 29 patches).
