Can I assume the drafts are also of this same nature? Samba-4.16 has
whole bunch of stuff in third_party/heimdal/doc/standardisation/ - I
think we can add this directory into gbp.conf's exclude list, together
with existing third_party/heimdal/lib/wind/rfc*.txt (moved).

Heh. I love this attitude. And I've no idea what did you throw at
me with your "good luck making it DFSG-free" comment ;))

I just need it to work. After hitting *major* pain with #1005642 I
realized I should do something with the situation, fixing damaged user
data is much more problematic.

Yeah this is definitely a plan Andrew. I was just over-optimistic
after your comment :) And started thinking maybe it's a better
idea to start from some smaller step, thinking the non-DFSG part
in heimdal will be real PITA to deal with :)

Thank you!
