It doesn't tell you whether the source code exists anymore, but it certainly tells me that it existed at some point in time.[1] You can deliberately destroy the source code of almost anything that we distribute in Debian. That doesn't change what the source code was. [And honestly, I'm not convinced that such deliberate destruction complies with DFSG §2 anyway.] In conclusion, beefore this is uploaded, you need to contact the upstream author and get the author to distribute the SVG or otherwise provide assurances that the SVG no longer exists at all. You probably also should be generating the icons on the fly from the SVG using inkscape as you build the package.
