It seems reasonable to remove non-source files from upstream tarballs if you are also removing non-redistributable or non-free files. If you don't remove non-source files from upstream tarballs, I think they should be removed at the start of `debian/rules build` and in `debian/rules clean` so that the files are always built from source on Debian. Of course upstream should be encouraged to remove non-source files from their source VCS repository and source tarballs. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
