I guess the best way is to ask upstream to remove the debian directory.
Otherwise you have to repack the source tarball (removing it yourself).
Since a debian diff is not allowed to remove files, you could find
yourself in trouble someday if you don't remove the directory from
source tarball and you need to remove some cruft from the upstream
debian/.
