The pedantic warning is actually "source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object", not a "source-is-missing" error. This solution won't apply to this case. Looking through the files, there are some interesting details: - "0001-append-uncompressed-bootstrap-as-its-source.patch" won't apply. The uncompressed JS/CSS files were previously added[1] directly to the upstream "site/" folder. Does this configures as a Debian Policy violation? - The "site/" folder isn't included (or used at all) in the binary packages. What happened is that upstream decided to include the project website in the same repository. Should we really worry about its contents? Thinking about this, the best solution seems to be drop the patch and remove the "site/" folder, repacking it as a DSFG-compatible tarball. But if there isn't a strictly legal requirement (e.g. to include sources for files that aren't distributed in binary form), I'm not sure this worth the effort. > According to the copyright format specification[2]: > > | There are many versions[3] of the MIT license.

It's not that the "MIT License" is a wrong name for it, but a non-ambiguous one. Fixed[2] and sorry for insisting on it. I hadn't figured that "MIT" wasn't a valid short name under the machine-readable format. Regards, Tiago.
