Thanks, now this makes sense.

Yes.

AFAIK you can include the upstream tarball again, as long as it is
identical to what is already in the archive - which is required anyway,
otherwise the hashsums in the .dsc would not match and the upload
rejected.

As long as they are present, yes.

Yes, there does not seem to be an option to only include the .asc file,
you need to edit the .changes file after the build as you did.
