Yes please, if that doesn't conflict with Otto. When you do upload,
could you tag or make a note of the commit you're uploading please?

The source is actually present, though we try to strip all of that in
removedojo.patch (but that can't remove binaries). I'm trying to avoid a
repack. Do you think we should have a lintian override there, as the
source is there in the same directory? I wasn't sure exactly what the
ftpmasters would want here, so I thought I'd wait for them to say. But
I'm confident that we're DFSG-compliant (the source is present - GPL
licensed I'm told and according to d/copyright - so it is
redistributable, but none of that ends up in a binary package anyway).

I didn't spot this. I ran lintian with --pedantic but not -I, sorry.
I'll look at this now.

Thanks. I guess I can add a lintian override for this.
