I think this is should be done, or any other way that clearly marks
the .tar.gz as modified (even if only files are removed, it is a
modification). Anyone downloading a .orig.tar.gz file from debian should
be able to safely assume that it really is the "original .tar.gz". If
this for any reason is not right, there should be a note attached. The
most convenient way to do so is to include a file like this in the
tar.gz.

The problem of changes of this file is a true one. Therefore, maybe we
can agree on a standard wording for these file, something like:

========
This file was modified by the debian package maintainer in the following
way:
These files were removed:
rfc/12345.txt
bin/firmware.bin
