For gNewSense we do as follows. If the software recommends non-free software then 'apt-get source' will give you the unmodified upstream source + a debian/patches tree with a fix to remove the reference. If the upstream source contains blobs or non-free code then 'apt-get source' will give you the upstream source without the troublesome bits (+ a debian/patches tree if there are also issues like the former).
