Agreed that the heuristics need adjusting (some changes are in git) and that the tag should be marked as possible rather than certain.

That seems reasonable. > They don't; at least not in the case of python-astropy. The do actually, astropy/extern/js/jquery.dataTables.js is an embedded code copy of a build artefact. In other words it is from DataTables instead of from DataTablesSrc. Personally I would repack the tarball to remove it and package DataTablesSrc separately. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
