No part of the resulting binary package comes from files that are not in their 
intended form of modification.  I acknowledge there are extra non-source files 
in the source tarball *that are not used* to create the binary.

Digikam meets this test.

It requires all sources required to create the binary.  Digikam meets this 
test.
