I understand, but since I didn't see a solution myself, I thought I'd ask if you had any suggestions :) > In this case it is, in my opinion, OK to remove the non-free parts from the > upstream tarball, and to ship everything else in the .debian.tar.gz file. I disagree, if that means that the source cannot be built without the *.debian.tar.gz tarball. Out of curiosity, I had a look at the iceweasel package to see how they handled the repackaging, and they also substitute non-free portions with free replacements in a few files. So I think it's more important that the repackaged archive is buildable than to not modify any upstream file (as long as the modifications are documented, of course).
