Although this might be sufficient for Crosswire, it is not to meet
Debian Free Software Guidelines. Source package in debian should have
original source in preferred form of modification. This is indeed a
bit weird for a bible, unless there are markup mistakes or possibly
translation mistakes (which I daubt) or e.g. encoding.
And as xiphos module manager suggestions in some places people might
be prosecuted and / or discriminated. Free operating systems as debian
would allow people for example translate Bible and further distribute.

<pre wrap="">While I have argued that we should maintain copies of these originals and
the scripts that converted them, it is not going to happen. AFAICT, the
reason is that CrossWire does not want to become a secondary source of
primary material. Each module's conf should give the location of the primary
source. (I say should because it is not very accurate, especially when the
holder of the primary keeps moving it around w/o maintaining permanent
links.)
