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,
