Package: mantis
Version: 1.1.6+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

AFAICT, adodb is free software and nothing prevents shipping it in the source 
package (even if it's removed from the binary package, like phpmailer and 
nusoap).

IMHO, the source package should then be built with plain upstream sources and 
not a +dfsg modified copy.

Or I'm missing something...

Thanks in advance.
