Is that considerable > enough for their removal? That part isn't in policy :) Is that 20mb before or after compression? Since it's a source package, there's only one copy (per suite, perhaps with a couple extra copies for a couple days at a time [?], but not per architecture). If you do repackage, make sure to provide an get-orig-source target to retrieve (?), unpack, modify, and repack that (and the top level dir should have ".orig" appended).
