I don't have a reference handy, but I think that the answer is no.

The Asterisk package faced similar issues (iLBC codecs).  Instead of
shipping the upstream tarball I made a script that removes the
offending source from the upstream tarball and creates a new tarball.
I then packaged the new tarball.  You need to package the script as
well.  So, I guess it's technically a fork but it's not like we're
making major changes to the code.
