While this is true you need to check the Build system that it does not
rely onto the internal code copy. It might be that you need to find
some quilt patch for the build system if it does not do some auto
detection.

I hope, this
https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements
is explicite enough. Currently uscan from devscripts is a bit in flux
and I'm constantly checking the Git version to make sure that my
suggested implementation will be realised. So I might be a bit ahead of
what is released however, the latest devscripts contain an uscan which
respects Files-Excluded which easily enables you to drop parts from
upstream source. The new tarball will get a "+dfsg" attached to the
version so you can simply git-import this one with --pristine tar as
well.

Please keep on asking if something remains unclear.
Kind regards
