Package: seabios
Version: 1.11.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1.2

Dear Maintainer,

I just noticed that the source tarball of seabios includes some compiled
binaries:

$ ls src/fw/*.hex
src/fw/acpi-dsdt.hex  src/fw/ssdt-misc.hex  src/fw/ssdt-pcihp.hex  src/fw/ssdt-
proc.hex

In debian/rules, these files are moved away and rebuilt:

# move out shipped .hex files and rebuild them
        mkdir -p build/src/fw
        for f in ${FW_FILES}; do [ -f $$f.sav -o ! -f $$f ] || mv $$f $$f.sav;
done
        rm -f ${FW_FILES}
        make OUT=build/ ${FW_FILES}
        touch $@

They should not be shipped at all, they should just be built when packaging.
