This is the point: they create it from other (source) data. Therefore, the file 
on the ftp server ftp.atnf.csiro.au is not a source, but contains generated 
data.

Debian policy requires that we create our files from source. This is also for 
transparency, so if you (as maintainer/uploader) are not available anymore, 
someone else should be able to download the latest sources, run "debuild" and 
get an updated package.

What difficulties would you expect if you would, instead of running 
"measures_data.csh" manually to create an updated package, do this inside 
debian/rules? The individual data files that are usually downloaded by 
measures_data.csh would then needed to be declared (and uploaded) as source 
files of the casacore-data package. As learned from the discussion, the 
circular build dependency is not a problem for us.

Best regards

Ole
