--- Begin Message ---Source: octicons Version: 4.4.0-1 Severity: serious Hi, the octicons package ships font binary files directly copied from the upstream tarball without building them from source. This is problematic for two reasons: 1. it is not trivial to verify that the source code upstream supplies is indeed the source for the binaries that we ship. Maybe a README.Source could be added that explains how this can be verified manually? 2. the package is distributed under the MIT license but our users will not be able to make use of the freedoms this license is granting them (specifically, modify the files we ship) using just the tools in Debian main, instead they need tools outside of Debian. It is violating the spirit of the DFSG if we are shipping files that our users are unable to modify. Both issues would be fixed if opticons would build the fonts from source. Thanks! cheers, josch
