It's not a problem as long as they are DFSG-compliant. I once read
somewhere in the maintainer guide, that we should only remove non-DFSG
stuff from .orig.tar.gz files as Debian users should be expected to
build/compile software for different platforms from our .orig.tar.gz
sources.
I was searching the maintainers' guide for the exact wording, but failed
to find it, so I can't give evidence here (d'oh!). Honestly I don't
think there are many users out there who really use our .orig.tar.gz
files to compile software for any *BSD or whatever ;)

Uhm, there you're right. I think I remove that file (and others, if
there are more) and do a $VERSION-repack.dfsg upload with full sources.
Any objections?

That's not true (phew! ;) ) it's mentioned at the end of
debian/copyright.

Oops, I already answered that above.
