Thanks Andrey,

Two questions,

By "moved to contrib", did you meant to change

Section: net

to

Section: contrib

in d/control?

Now, let's define what "package cannot function" actually means. If
functions normally without this or similar unpackaged file, but the
program is completely data driven, i.e., no ads sites from the list
are blocked unless the list is there.

So, strictly speaking, the package indeed cannot function without this
or similar unpackaged file, right? And the solution is just above,
right?

thx!
