That's what I'm doing. But that works with tarballs not with upstream as git.
If upstream (deliberately, so this will not change) has DSFG-non-free content
in it, then I should not copy that into a git packaging repo that is targeting
main. Removing the problematic parts from the upstream git repos would rewrite
their history, invalidate tags etc, so the result would not be very useful
anymore. Thus, I usually have one directory on my PC with the upstream git and
another with my Debian packaging git. The packaging git does not have the
upstream git with non-free content int it. Instead my packaging git regularly
imports new upstream releases as tarballs and removes the non-free content via
Files-Excluded and dversionmangle/repacksuffix in d/watch. I don't see how I
can get rid of the tarballs here but instead embrace the (non-free) upstream
git. Maybe I'm missing something?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
