While I still maintain my previous position that concatenated js is DFSG-free, even if it is not what upstream requires, I'm just wondering - what is your .orig.tar.gz? You might not need to repack it if you can concatenate the files with a debhelper override in d/rules. And you're still distributing source the way upstream wants it, so everyone's happy.
