</div>I don't think that would be very helpful. AIUI, those files are not<br>
strictly needed for building the package, just for validation?<br>
<br>
In that case, suggesting the data package in non-free would be fine.<br>

</div>As long as this is just about ADF, just removing those would be a good<br>
compromise I think.<br>
