In the Debian ecosystem each binary package references a source package from which it is built. To quote from the documentation:
Source packages provide you with all of the necessary files to compile or otherwise, build the desired piece of software.
It consists, in its simplest form, of three files:
The upstream tarball with .tar.gz ending
A description file with .[dsc](https://wiki.debian.org/dsc) ending. It contains the name of the package, both, in its filename as well as content (after the Source: keyword).
A tarball, with any changes made to upstream source, plus all the files created for the Debian package.
This has a .debian.tar.gz (source format : 3.0)
or a .diff.gz ending (source format : 1.0)
We are unsure how to exactly represent the relationship between these two packages. Candidates would e.g. be GENERATES, PREREQUESITE_FOR. Is there already a consensus what is best? What would you recommend?
