my 2 cents: debian/ should not be used for much data: It will be duplicated by the upload of every package revision. So (being extreme now), having several hundreds of MiB would be quite expensive in terms of storage overheade. I have not idea how much "much data" is, for sure to be defined by FTP masters. For another 2 cents, if data would exceed the size of the debian.tar.gz by a magnitude or two, I would go for a source package. Summing up to 6 cents, my feeling is that storing data in debian/ is not the best approach. Have you talked to upstream to include the data in their source. After all, this would benefit the whole community if upstream has a good test suite? Cheers, -- tobi
