The project is quite inactive, I don't think they'll bother to make a new release. But, I'll file a bug. > it is a good idea to remove them in the initial phase of debian/rules build > before a compiler is involved so that there is less chance they will be > used in the future. I could also do it in a patch. Is there any reason debian/rules is better? > If you're already repacking the tarball due to DFSG issues [...] I'm not.

Again, I don't think upstream will be responsive. But I agree this would be the best solution, and it is worth filing a bug.
