If you would upload the same upstream version you need to use epoch, else the upload with a new tarball would be refused. -- Francesco P.

The updated script gets installed and the non-free one was only available in the source package. I don't think we need to provide a URL to the old script beacuse the only difference is the license change which is documented in debian/copyright.
