Bug#352172: libbsf-java_2.3.0+cvs20050308.orig.tar.gz missing in pool/main (is in contrib)

Package: libbsf-java
Version: 2.3.0+cvs20050308-6
Severity: serious
Justification: no source, breaks debmirror etc.


Due to the issue described in Bug #341858 (an existing bug
against ftp.debian.org), when libbsf-java was moved from contrib
to main, the .orig.gz file was not included in pool/main (there
is a valid copy of the file in pool/contrib).

This has the following serious effects:

1. Running debmirror against sid source will always fail because
this orig.tar.gz is listed in main/source/Sources for sid and
testing but cannot be download from ftp.*.debian.org .  Thus it
makes ftp.debian.org internally inconsistent!

2. It obviously prevents downloading and building the source,
simply because apt-get source libbsf-java fails.

3. It clearly violates policy 2.1 (and the DFSG itself) "The
program must include source code, ..." .

I suggest that the missing file is added to ftp.debian.org
either by upload or by manual ftp-master intervention (the file
can simply be copied from the identical file in pool/contrib
where it is used by sarge).  Something like (line broken for
width in e-mail):

ftp-master$ cp -p \
debian/pool/contrib/libb/libbsf-java/libbsf-java_2.3.0+cvs20050308.orig.tar.gz \
debian/pool/main/libb/libbsf-java/
