unsourced pdf in tarball; src available from ftp site;



I am looking to package the Swiss Ephemeris:
http://www.astro.com/faq/fq_swe_prog_e.htm

Unfortunately, there are unsourced pdfs in the doc directory of the tarball.
doc/swisseph.pdf 
doc/swephprg.pdf
http://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/swe_unix_src_1.77.00.tar.gz
However, the source (a .doc file) is on the ftp site in a directory that should 
be covered by the LICENSE file which is also on the ftp site.
http://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/doc/swephprg.doc
http://www.astro.com/ftp/swisseph/src/LICENSE

I plan to get an email from the upstream, stating that the .doc files are also
covered by the LICENSE, which I will add to debian copyright.

If I add the .doc file as a patch, can I still use the original pristine source 
tarball?

I plan to create a make file that will rebuild the .pdf from its source using 
openoffice.

I have already requested that the upstream include the source to pdfs in 
future releases.
