Yes, that is weird, and it's not what you quoted. I don't know how you
get that meaning from the text you quoted:
This is because PyPI contains upstream tarballs, and tarballs are
what we upload to the Debian archive.

On the contrary, I think the Policy document should document the
rationale for contingent decisions like this. When it is inevitably
discussed again in the future, it is always better to know the intent of
the authors.
