It should be documented in debian/README.Debian-source or some similar
file. I don't think it's mandatory to give the .orig.tar.gz a special
name.

I think that in this case it is better to cut out the useless
components, so that the debian/copyright can be kept more simple, and
also that the .orig.tar.gz is smaller. But I think that this is to be
evaluated per package. For some packages it could be OK to not
repackage the .orig.tar.gz.

No problem at all. Me too I'm trying to understand if I miss something.
