Alessandro, This is to do with the way in which source packages in Debian/Ubuntu are handled. A source package consists of three files: a *.dsc (which contains a description of the package, a *.orig.tar.gz and a *.diff.gz. The *.orig.tar.gz contains the original, unmodified source tarball (from your website). When we "debianize" the source code, we add a debian/ directory which contains build scripts, lists of dependencies, copyrights, etc. The *.diff.gz essentially contains this directory so we can keep our changes and the original code seperate. When unpacking the source package for building/editing the *.diff.gz is applied to the *.orig.tar.gz to obtain the debian changes.
