Okay but suppose someone uploads /a LaTeX package/ documented with
a `.pdf` file by means of, say, Sphinx (through a `.tex` file requiring
only packages available with the TeX Live).

Since Sphinx can export the `.rst` as `.tex` files before they are
compiled as `.pdf` files, what would be:

1. required by the CTAN/TeX Live team as source file(s),
2. the most convenient for the user who would like to modify the
   documentation: 

- just the `.tex` file?
- just the `.rst` file?
- both the `.tex` and the `.rst` files?
