Repacking an upstream tarball just to avoid needing to tell
dh_install not to copy files from a particular path into the binary
package seems the wrong way around to me, but maybe I'm missing
something which makes that particularly complicated? This comes up
on debian-mentors all the time, and the general advice is to avoid
repacking tarballs unless there's a policy violation or you can get
substantial (like in the >50% range) reduction in size on especially
huge upstream tarballs. Otherwise the ability to compare the
upstream tarball from the source package to upstream release
announcements/checksums/signatures is a pretty large benefit you're
robbing from downstream recipients who might wish to take advantage
it.
