If you run uscan BingAerialTileSource.java will be removed from the original
tarball due to the Files-Excluded directive. In conjunction with your patch there
shouldn't be any code left that won't compile. The Debian package is always the
original tarball + Debian changes (the debian directory).

I would go for 1. Just repack the tarball and add +dfsg to the version number.
