Well, (a) isn't entirely accurate.  If this package is a Suggests, the
user can still get the third-party data, they just have to install it
themselves.  And the user has to manually edit a config file before this
is even an issue, yes?

Seems weird to force this package installation on everyone just in case
a user edits the config to want it.

But I'm very sympathetic to the argument that we want one copy of this
data shared between packages.  I'll pass to security team to see if they
have an opinion of any sort on this package.

>From a maintainer point of view, the only issue with this package is
that it doesn't have a team bug subscriber.  Might that be the security
team?
