The correct thing to do is to create a new .orig.tar.gz with the offending files removed from it, but keep the rest of the .orig.tar.gz unchanged. Debian changes and package infrastructure should still go in a .diff.gz, and the package version should consist of an upstream version with a separate Debian revision.
