I usually keep an "unvendored" branch that has those deletions. It
usually creates conflicts on merges, but these are also usually easy to
fix. You can also just create a new branch on each relase, and run your
repack script.

In both cases, you can tag that branch as upstream/1.2.3+ds, and
generate an orig.tar.gz from there.
