I have a repository at http://git.debian.org/?p=users/smcv/qa/witty.git
with some fixes for that; feel free to use them. (I'm not going to NMU or
sponsor this package myself, because I have no idea how to test it...)

Pau, I notice you've packaged version 3.1.5, but at this stage in the release
process (squeeze has been frozen since August) it's best to stick to minimal
fixes for RC bugs when uploading to unstable.

You could upload 3.1.5 to experimental in the meantime, though.

Indeed. Using the mtasc command line mentioned in a comment in the source
produces a byte-for-byte identical .swf file, so that's easy enough:
http://git.debian.org/?p=users/smcv/qa/witty.git;a=commitdiff;h=ea4f1e06b660a068b63c28eb61bc7183fa1f0038

I also noticed that resources/swfobject.js is in a minified form which I don't
think really qualifies as source code; it's also not mentioned in
debian/copyright, which is certainly a Policy violation. It turns out to be
the result of putting the SWFObject 2.2 source file through yui-compressor,
then deleting a couple of trailing spaces, so I'd be inclined to ship the
non-minified version and put it through yui-compressor at build time:
http://git.debian.org/?p=users/smcv/qa/witty.git;a=commitdiff;h=b0d6f10a2a80285c93ecec8061d42d46a49aa283

I'm not entirely happy about that second commit, because it doesn't actually
give a copyright statement for SWFObject; I couldn't find one in
swfobject_2_2.zip or on <http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/>.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/history suggests that
the copyright holders probably include at least Geoff Stearns,
Bobby van der Sluis, Michael Williams, Aran Rhee, Philip Hutchison and
Kyle Simpson.

Several other Debian packages include SWFObject, so it'd probably be best in
the long term to have it packaged in its own right: I opened
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=601160 for that.
