Is there a use-case for this (always including the .orig when telling
sbuild to build source as well, no matter what revision)?  If so, it
should maybe be made an official config option perhaps.  This is clearly
not useful for buildds (at least the official ones), so this is our
decision I guess.

Matt, what do you think?
