Debian generally has an original upstream tarball, plus diffs.  Given
that the available original tarball for the current version is
actually vile-9.7.tgz, that gets shipped by Debian as
vile_9.7.orig.tar.gz (a simple rename), and patches 'a' through 'j'
are then applied and end up in the accompanying vile_9.7-j1.diff.gz
(the additional "1" caters for any Debian-specific changes).

What Paul is saying, is that if Tom were to provide vile-9.7j.tar.gz
then the process would be simpler.
