The first two are so close that they are redundant; it is better to
have just one of them.  I think "development" is the more important of
the two.

The third one is 10 lines away.  Maybe that is far enough not to be
redundant.  It is a judgment call.

Rotating the words in an index entry makes another index entry.
It can be useful to have multiple rotations of the same words.

For instance, "development source, of package" might be useful in
addition to "package development source".  "Upstream source, of
package" might be useful in addition to "package upstream source".

Each of them is useful to have in the index if more than a few users
will look for the term that way in the index, and it isn't redundant
with other index entries for the same place.
