I understand, but since I didn't see a solution myself, I thought I'd
ask if you had any suggestions :)

I disagree, if that means that the source cannot be built without the
*.debian.tar.gz tarball.

Out of curiosity, I had a look at the iceweasel package to see how they
handled the repackaging, and they also substitute non-free portions with
free replacements in a few files. So I think it's more important that
the repackaged archive is buildable than to not modify any upstream file
(as long as the modifications are documented, of course).

Cheers,
