Yes of course, I forgot about that. When the package is uploaded the
second orig tarball is in Debian and hence preserved. Don't worry about
the exact hash sum of the tar if there is no upstream tarball. Sure, you
can put it into git using pristine-tar. I don't know if git-buildpackage
supports multiple upstream tarballs.
