Agree with you, the real question is where dfsg or any debian policy
prevents from providing obfuscated files in orig tarballs providing :

* they have source files
* they are rebuild in packaging process

Althought I've followed your (and Marcelloo) POV, I've not seen any
policy for that and David clearly said that it was not compliant whith
debian general policy (see previous post).

So if anybody could could point where it's not suitable to have minified
versions on orig tarballs...
