Hi again,

 it seems that the line 161 is actually a tar.bz2 file that gets
extracted and then used.  Though, first there is some substitution of \r
and \n characters so that the "file" could go on one line.

 IMHO this is not acceptable because there are no tools included or
commandline switches offered with waf (in postler and midori) to
conveniently unpack and repack these part for a.) inspection or b.)
modification, which are required for packages in Debian main.

 From what I understood there seems to be some waf-light that wouldn't
use the mangled tarball included within the script, I would guess that
this is the best way to move forward from here.

 If you really would like to argue that character substitution within
the tarball for embedding it in the waf script is acceptable in
accordance to policy/DFSG without direct tool to unpack/repack it, then
please discuss this on e.g. debian-devel or such, or overrule me and
lower the severity (but please provide understandable reasoning too),
I still believe that this is against our rules.

 Thanks in advance,
Rhonda
