You realize these contradict each other, right? If you strip the automade
files from the source tarball, then dh-autoreconf will no longer delete
changed files, since the files that it deletes are exactly the files that
you're stripping.
So unless I'm missing something, it seems like you should continue to do
(b) if you want to do that... and then also use dh-autoreconf.
