Package: src:python-coverage Version: 3.4-3 Severity: important Owner: Thomas Goirand <z...@debian.org>
The pristine upstream source for ‘python-coverage’ contains ECMAScript library files that have been “minimised”: * coverage/htmlfiles/jquery-1.3.2.min.js * coverage/htmlfiles/jquery.tablesorter.min.js Thomas Goirand <z...@debian.org> reports that these files are considered non-free by the Debian FTP masters.

I definitely agree that files under non-free terms do not belong in Debian. -- \ “Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto | `\ someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I | _o__) have to laugh, because what is that thing?” —Jack Handey | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
