Hi RMs,
[ Reason ]
Upstream source contains several ROM files for Commodore machines and
floppy drives, including printers. All these have a size of 2k and
multiples. A script under debian/ directory called mangle-source.sh
remove those. There's a printer ROM file which turned out to be an
exception to this size rule. Meaning this non-free file slipped to the
source tree and to the package itself.
This is filed as a serious bug [1] already. I've fixed it by removing
the file and updating the removal script.
[ Impact ]
It will make the package DFSG free and users can still have it in Bookworm.
[ Tests ]
This file is unused for package build and only needed if someone would
like to emulate the Commodore printer. That is, no extra tests are
required.
[ Risks ]
Nothing. The change is only a file removal, replace it with the text
'dummy' and a source repack shell script update.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
Uploaded, built on all architectures and package is working.
