To help the difficult determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle, Aleksan, Dunietz and Kayser have proposed the modes of the type $K^-D^+_s$, common to $B_s$ and $\bar{B}_s$. We point out that it is possible to gain in statistics by a sum over all modes with ground state mesons in the final state, i.e. $K^-D^+_s$, $K^{*-}D_+^s$, $K^-D^{*+}_s$, $K^{*-}D^{*+}_s$. The delicate point is the relative phase of these different contributions to the dilution factor $D$ of the time-dependent asymmetry. Each contribution to $D$ is proportional to a product $F^{cb}$ $F^{ub}$ $f_{D_s}$ $f_K$ where $F$ denotes form factors and $f$ decay constants. Within a definite phase convention, lattice calculations do not show any change in sign when extrapolating to light quarks the form factors and decay constants. Then, we can show that all modes contribute constructively to the dilution factor, except the $P$-wave $K^{*-}D^{*+}_s$, which is small. Quark model arguments based on wave function overlaps also confirm this stability in sign. By summing over all these modes we find a gain of a factor 6 in statistics relatively to $K^-D^+_s$. The dilution factor for the sum $D_{tot}$ is remarkably stable for theoretical schemes that are not in very strong conflict with data on $B \to \psi K(K^*)$ or extrapolated from semileptonic charm form factors, giving $D_{tot} \geq 0.6$, always close to $D(K^- D^+_s)$.
