Package: beneath-a-steel-sky Severity: serious One man asked me to upload a package into debian which contains a blob without source. When i denied to upload it he routed an example Your package (beneath-a-steel-sky), which contains files like sky.cpt which has no sources and is distributed as binary file.
This situation is DFSG violation (p.2). Also this mediacontent has no license terms in debian/copyright (only copyright holder is refered). At least package should be splited into two packages and the first part should be moved to contrib part of debian, second part must be moved into non-free three. I haven't found license terms about game content. If it isn't freeware, it couldn't be placed in non-free, in this case You can write a script downloading mediacontent when Your package is installed. -- ... mpd is off . ''`. Dmitry E.
