I ran into this about three years ago when I uploaded sword-comm-mhc
(the complete Matthew Henry commentary; we already have the concise
version in Debian).  In any event, the fact that the build "starts" with
what are effectively binary blobs was the principal objection of the FTP
Masters when they rejected sword-comm-mhc.

It would be good if we could sort this out for the existing modules and
also so that we are able to get sword-comm-mhc into Debian.
