They are only a violation when the source is not provided. See eg the following lintian tags with severity of just "pedantic": * source-contains-prebuilt-windows-binary * source-contains-prebuilt-java-object In this particular case, the files in windows/ and java/ are just pre-built binaries provided by upstream as a convenience to the user. They are built from the very same source (see eg: Makefile.win). Of course, it would better to repack and not include these at all, but this is a minor issue. > v3.12 is from 2012, please consider an update to a recent version ( > https://github.com/cjlin1/libsvm/releases ) Chen-Tse and I are already working on this.
