The modification to DFSG #2 that Raphaël proposes is indeed not good but I'd say this one would clear the issues: "The program ust include source code for all the files that are used in building the Debian binary packages" Which means: - If upstream is including jquery.min.js but I'm not using it because I'm using libjs-jquery, I don't need to repack the source tarball - If upstream is including a a Win32 DLL but I'm not using it for anything, I don't need to repack the source tarball etc -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
