Yes, the idea of the get-orig-source target, as I understand it, is to
enable someone else to replicate what you did do to create the upstream
source tree. Basically, it should fetch the source from upstream (as a
tarball or using git or whatever), then delete the problematic files,
then create a tarball. This target is not used in everyday life, it is
just a way of documenting how the dfsg package relates to upstream.
