Since you are actually upstream this is what I recommended, yes.

Alternatively you can use

   Files-Excluded: js.php.t.typo.js

in debian/copyright and use

   uscan --verbose --force-download --repack --compress xz

(untested Files-Excluded string may be the directory needs to be
specified as well).  In the case of repackaging you need to add a +dfsg
suffix to the version number.  Feel free to ask for more detailed infor
in case you consider the new upstream version not as an easy option.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
