Ah no, you meant to not ship it in the binary package, not to remove it
from the orig.tar.gz. Yes, that's a valid concern. This patch to the
Makefile should fix this:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index acbd0da..11feccf 100644

Hans, what do you think about removing these two lines upstream? Users
are very unlikely to look these two files up in those places anyway.
