Hub spoke holes too rough for reliable wheel build?

I have a set of 36h Campagnolo Record hubs that I picked up with the intent of having them built with some new Mavic Open Pro rims for a sturdy set of wheels to use on my two Gazelles. Upon recieving the hubs I am now a bit worried (as is the wheel builder) that the gouges around the spoke holes may cause problems. Opinions? Suggestions? I thought of using some 400 grit sand apper to knock down the roughest of the edges, and maybe a bit of dremel work to just touch up the holes themselves. Not so much it would significantly alter the thickness of the flange or widen the hole, just to smooth out the rough edges.
