I agree with you that it's useless work. But the ftpmasters believe that Debian is made of source and binary packages and that the content of the source package should respect DFSG #2 “The program must include source code[...]”. Maybe we should fix DFSG #2 to say “The program must include source code for all the files that gets installed in the Debian binary packages [...]“. That way, there's no need to strip unused RFC, minified javascript, Flash files, PDF without sources, etc. All this has been useless bureaucracy which has drawn people away.
