Based on what?  The only evidence of this that I see in the source package
is an unused rule in gweather/Makefile.am describing how to generate
gweather/Locations.xml from gweather/Locations.xml.in and a bunch of other
files that *also* aren't shipped in the source.  It looks to me like an
obsolete build rule, not missing source.

Even if this were a case of a missing Locations.xml.in file, I don't see
that it would be a DFSG violation.
