Hi!
I'm afraid my NMU for RC bug #873976 just failed due to autoreject:
E: db5.3 source: source-contains-prebuilt-ms-help-file 
docs/csharp/BerkeleyDB.chm

Most of the contents seem to be html and aspx files that are provided in the
source, but the glue and build system requires "Sandcastle Help Builder"
which is an abandoned Visual Studio plugin.  This one _has_ been open
sourced, but Visual Studio obviously hasn't.  So unless someone somehow
ports that Sandcastle thingy to our platforms and packages it, there's no
way to argue this chm file is buildable with tools included in the archive.

Thus, I'm afraid you'll need to repack the source tarball.
