It is not a copyright problem, it is a problem that the DFSG mandates
the build of everything from the preferred form of modification. Without
the comment, the package could be rejected on the ground that those
files are marked as generated. A note in the debian/copyright will save
you the time to explain it is not the case.
As for the ones that were generated from IETF MIB, if they are in the
same case, it is believed that API cannot be copyrighted. They could
therefore be licensed with the BSD license as well. Only the MIB
themselves must be removed. But this could be more debatable. Your pick.
