IMHO, the best solution is to include it with the upstream source package, where one exists (for unzip, that would be the unzip package itself). A separate package solely for the DOS files means they can easily get out of sync, and it will still require a binary package for the changelog and copyright. > Should I try to include everything currently in /debian/tools > and name it ftp.debian.org-tools? I think it's better to have the mapping to the existing source package (where available) so that each maintainer is maintaining the files in this directory. > I see that lodlin16.zip already comes from the loadlin package, so such > file should be excluded.
