I always convert epub to epub after scrubbing DRM anyway. This way, calibre fixes up suboptimal OEBPS folder layouts, over-generous margins (seriously, who thought 1em margins were a good idea?), possible TOC issues, etc. And with recent versions of Calibre it even automatically saves the original epub in case the conversion didn't turn out well.

And that's assuming I don't open the epub in Sigil and start fixing stuff by hand anyway. So many poorly constructed and formatted epubs out there, so little time!
