Gregory's Serverwell, if you refer to the "original one" as the one distributed via Google Play, the it is kinda unsurprising that this specific version depends on Google Play.
If you don't have GPlay, you have the alternative method.
I have also heard that both APKs are actually completely identical (including autoupdate), even though I haven't checked that myself.
Either way, I feel that the term "original" in this conversation is used primarily to be able to be antagonistic...
