        AIUI, this was already reported as Debian Bug#576628 [1], and
        apparently fixed (at least partially) upstream.  I hope to look
        into it sometime after this debian/copyright issue is resolved.

        ACK, thanks.

        I guess I should try to contact their respective upstream
        authors for clarification.

        (Alternatively, these files could be removed from Prophet
        upstream; I have some doubt if maintaining local copies of these
        worth the effort.)

        Likewise [1].

        ACK.

        It's my understanding they are.
