Control: reopen -1 !
Control: reassign -1 lintian
Control: found -1 2.5.40.2

Sorry, but this is not fixed yet. The problem may not affect aegan 
anymore, but the other packages (like python-astropy) are affected.

Even worse: overwriting this error seems not to work anymore; I have the 
following in d/sources/lintian-overrides, which silenced it for a while:

# See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=798900#29
source-is-missing astropy/extern/js/jquery.dataTables.js

but now I get this error again; see

https://lintian.debian.org/full/debian-astro-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#python-astropy_1.1.1-2

The upstream source of python-astropy includes the source of dataTables 
in accordance to our policy. They are not used to actually build the 
package (and I would use the Debian package here if needed), but I see 
no reason to exclude it from the source package.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having query.dataTables.js in the 
source tarball, please adjust lintian accordingly.
