I've used sa slightly different wording:

 * The source code for all packages; this has been saved in the sources/
   subdirectory (except for the non-redistributable packages, which have not
   been saved). Patches that were applied are also saved, along with a file
   named 'series' that lists the patches in the order they were applied.

Do they still stand with the above wording?

Thanks! :-)
