It seems reasonable to remove non-source files from upstream tarballs
if you are also removing non-redistributable or non-free files.
If you don't remove non-source files from upstream tarballs, I think
they should be removed at the start of `debian/rules build` and in
`debian/rules clean` so that the files are always built from source on
Debian.
Of course upstream should be encouraged to remove non-source files
from their source VCS repository and source tarballs.
