Ah, sorry.  Thought you where the maintainer of the package closing that
bug.

It is relevant for policy and it is relevant for ftp-master.  We need to
have the source (as in "preferred form of modification") not only to
conform with our policy but also because of legal reasons.  The affected
file is not in this form.  So it is a release critical bug which must be
solved somehow for the package to be distributable for us.

It is just shear luck, that no one brought this issue to ftp-masters
attention so far.

There is nothing wrong with shipping a compressed / obfuscated file in
the _binary_ package.  We just need the real source of it in the source
package.


Best regards,
