After some discussion on <debian-de...@l.d.o>, it seemed ok to only strip the problematic binary from the binary package, without stripping it from the original tarball by repacking it. It also appeared that I should document that removal on the copyright file. This permitted me to discover that this Flash file had no licence at all: I contacted its author, and this code is now under the MIT licence. So, in a word: one more change, to the debian/copyright file, cf. attached patch. To justifiy that, I could open another serious bug or complete the #592593. -- Tanguy Ortolo
