swf files in Ubuntu

[Charlie Smotherman]

Hello list,

After reading these blog posts:

http://shanefagan.com/flash-games-on-ubuntu/
and
http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2011/01/03/packaging-flex-games-for-ubuntu

I am curious as to whats Ubuntu's policy on having *.swf files in the archive?

>From this thread it seems that debians position is to not allow *.swf
files in the archives unless the *.swf file can be compiled at package
build time.
