That's not by itself a reason to include packaging-specific files in
the upstream tarball.

I really doubt that. Could you explain which problems you see with
having a clear separation?
But even if true, you'll just have to decide between "awkwardness" for

can't (and wouldn't, if we could) force you to do things the friendly
way, so it's your call.
