[Debian-med-packaging] Source for manual.pdf in QValue [Was: ftpmaster at debian.org: r-bioc-qvalue_1.30.0-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]

[Andreas Tille]

Hi again John,

it would also help if you could clearly state that it is not possible to
provide the source for this PDF because this would enable us doing
something (= also strip the PDF from the source tarball and add a hint
for the user where this file could be downloaded).

It is just hard to handle a "no-answer" situation.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
