As for David's suggestion to set the context property remove-first to ##t: Wouldn't that remove all empty staves from the first page, i.e., also the empty staves of "regular" instrumental parts? What I want is to have the "regular" parts on the first page, even if they are empty, and remove only the auxiliary system (if I tried the approach to create an additional normal staff instead of an ossia staff).
