Hi Martin,

Just to close the loop on this, for ubuntu-archive's information:

Totally makes sense.  I discussed this with upstream and they added a 
catch-all LICENSE file to the top of their source tree in subversion.  
(As a rule, they've been very receptive to bug reports, incorporating 
suggestions, etc.)

Oops, duh.  I notified upstream, and until they can find the sources, 
they've pulled the PDFs from their build scripts (and I've excluded them 
from the source tarball).

As you saw and checked, I reuploaded, and it was accepted.  It's in 
binary NEW now, so let me know if there's anything out of line in there, 
and I'll get it fixed.  :)

Thanks again for doing a source NEW so late in the dev cycle.  :)

Take care,
