I do remove them now. Not in the previous release where the tarball
was made with make dist (vs github snapshot now).

I tried this but reverted: I still get errors when rebuilding.
Probably the best solution would be to use the debian/clean file and
add these files to Files-Excluded in d/copyright (since I'm
repackaging anyway). Then there would be no difference.
For this release I prefer keeping the patches and not changing my
source tarball.
I've uploaded a new package with these changes and the
multiarch-fields in d/control
Kind Regards,
Johan
