If you are removing files because they are not DFSG-free, "dfsg" (or a variation of that ) should be ok. However, if the reason for removing the files is to fix the build twice requirement (yes to see how that can be related), or to make the tarball "cleaner" (only in the sense of not containing files not required for the build), then this is not a dfsg thing and I would use "ds" (debian source) instead (i.e. ds1, ds2, etc). Thanks.
