I rarely share Marco's opinion, but this time I do. A way around removing the files would be to ask upstream to add the original (big) sources and some way to generate the shipped small files out of them, like a makefile/whatever which does the job. Then the miniaturized version comes with their original source (yet another copy of...) and everybody would be happy. -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
