For Debian "sources" means the orig tarball, that should be the same as
the upstream shipped one (otherwise it might be a repack or a dfsg
tarball).

So if upstream removes them when releasing, for Debian the file doesn't exist
at all.

you might have everything you want in your git/svn tree, even built files
or cmake or whatever.
You need to document in copyright everything that is in the tarball you have
with the software you upload in Debian.
