I don't think it's such a severe issue.

First, as you stated, it isn't technically an FTBFS; it does not keep 
you from building binary packages from the sources we provide. It just 
keeps you from creating *our* sources from the ones that upstream 
provides. But TTBOMK it is nowhere required that cleaning up upstream 
sources must be possible without quirks or even with Debian main only.

Second, it is trivial to fix this issue by creating a symlink at the 
right place in debian/fix-upstream.sh.
