I would first try to contact upstream and ask him to reupload the
clean package. If by any reason upstream doesn't want to, or whatever,
I would repackage the .orig.tar.gz, add a get-orig-src to the
debian/rules and add a note on the readme.Debian.
The dsfg prefix is used when you remove files from the upstream
package because they can't be redistributed or some similar case which
would either make the package go to non-free or not even possible to
be distributed by Debian. Which is not your case.
