Hi Andreas, thanks for the feedback!

I don't think so? Since I explicitly removed those files from the 
repository, see 
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/ctk/-/commit/cdf9e91b1ec73d741ac1f5ec544a429f73ad72a8

Or do you think it's not a good to do that because GitHub still has 
those, and it's better to restore them and instead use Files-Excluded tag?

It's likely, but the timing is not sure, sometimes they solve things 
within a week, sometimes it takes months...


Cheers!

Fernando.
