It's the usual way for uploading directly to the Debian repositories, so
that's the default.
However, it's not what you want for inviting prospective sponsors; they
are better served by having the full source package available, including
upstream tarballs.
To get that, specify unconditional inclusion of the upstream tarballs by
passing the ‘-sa’ option to ‘dpkg-genchanges(1)’.
