How would someone rebuild the minified javascript files from the missing-sources files? I'm looking for something that can become a template for other packages. A README-source snippet to document the process could say something like: The included JavaScript file is minified and thus not readily modifiable, but source code exists in debian/missing-sources/ directory and can be rebuilt into the minified version by doing X. My understanding of the DFSG is still that the compiler must be in main for the package itself to be in main. But having a README.source explaining how to rebuild file files may be a first step. /Simon
