The latter is the current state and the files are really not big. I just was
remembered by lintian:
python3-relatorio: image-file-in-usr-lib
usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/relatorio/tests/egg.jpg
which is the cause of my request.
Would that justify a lintian override? It would be indeed the simplest solution.
