Yes, the idea of the get-orig-source target, as I understand it, is to enable someone else to replicate what you did do to create the upstream source tree. Basically, it should fetch the source from upstream (as a tarball or using git or whatever), then delete the problematic files, then create a tarball. This target is not used in everyday life, it is just a way of documenting how the dfsg package relates to upstream.
