How to stop visual studio generate typescript js and js.map files while publishing

Question

I set up my project that combine javascript output into file to $(ProjectDir)dist\output.js and uncheck generate source maps.

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Typescript -> Project -> Automatically compile Typescript files which are not part of a project is unchecked as well.

While building and running project from visual studio, it works as expected: generate only output.js files.

However while publishing my project, it still generates js and js.map file foreach .ts files.

When I check myproject.pubxml.user file, it says:

<File Include="app/app.module.js">
  <publishTime>06/16/2015 17:41:13</publishTime>
</File>
<File Include="app/app.module.js.map">
  <publishTime>06/16/2015 17:41:13</publishTime>
</File>
<File Include="app/app.routes.js">
  <publishTime>06/16/2015 17:41:13</publishTime>
</File>
<File Include="app/app.routes.js.map">
  <publishTime>06/16/2015 17:41:13</publishTime>
</File>
<File Include="app/controllers/account/loginController.js">
  <publishTime>06/16/2015 17:41:13</publishTime>
</File>

How can I stop Visual Studio from generating those unwanted .js and map.js files?

You probably have different config for debug and release. Make them the same.
