That is actually easier:
--- tpm2deb-source.pl	(revision 5177)
+++ tpm2deb-source.pl	(working copy)
@@ -268,6 +268,8 @@
 		copy_unpack_included_packages($coll, $texlivedest);
 		#copy_collection_files($coll,$texlivedest,$types);
 	}
+	# remove binary files
+	`rm -rf \"$texlivedest/bin\"`;
 	#
 	# necessary for media detection!
 	&mkpath("$texlivedest/texmf/web2c");

should suffice, right?

Yes, that has to be done!

For package blacklists: As far as I see this is already done in the
routine, eg I cannot find anywhere some (latex-)beamer related file in
the .orig.tar.gz, since it is blacklisted.

For file blacklists: We have to remove files in
	@{$TeXLive{'all'}{'file_blacklist'}
but be careful, that can contain regexp.

I have not done *ANY* changes by now since I cannot test, please
if anyone has time, take a look into it, thanks.

See above, no, it is trivial more or less. SO no go back, I agree.
