Unfortuantly a patch is not enough, as the problematic sources would
still be in the tarball, which'd be not ok for copyright issues as we
would still distribute them. (actually, we should remove them from
the repository to be safe... git-filter can do that, I guess or
nuke the repo and regenerate it from scratch. The latter would also
fix another small issue with the repo: It'd be nice to import all old
versions of Debian packaging from opencascade, using gbp import-dscs --debsnap)

I guess we'll need to repack the source, so the removal would be done
while creation of the orig.tar, before importing it into the git repo.
(We need repacking because of the problematic sources; I would not
bother with the extra files otherwise)
One way would be to use the Files-Excluded: feature of d/copyright,
picked up by uscan or an get-orig-source target for d/rules when you
want to package from a git-commit. (I use the latter for some of my
packages, look at dhewm3 or rbdoom3bfg -- IIRC the latter takes the
list of files to be removed from Files-Excluded for get-orig-source)
