Hi Gunnar,
I just saw your comment on this bug from February 18 Personally, I don't think it is enough to say that a package is not using some artifacts from the source tarball - while it is a technically valid argument, it would make it far more difficult for FTP masters to inspect source packages and badness could start to creep in as a consequence of any generosity they show in this area. Repackaging upstream tarballs is becoming a common problem with minified JavaScript, maybe we need to have some automated way of doing this. For upstreams who use git and who release the exact contents of their tags (without any autotools bootstrapping, etc), it should be fairly easy to create some system on alioth that mirrors all the upstreams and pro-actively generates +dfsg versions of their tags ready for maintainers to work with.
