Those are not part of the source for the package ‘inform6-compiler’.

Rather, as you point out they are in the “Inform6 for Unix” code base,
which is not used in building ‘inform6-compiler’.

That is a separate code base; it will be (soon?) packaged in Debian as
‘inform6’, which effectively replaces the existing Debian ‘inform’
package. I am reassigning this bug report.

Do you think the belong as part of the source release of the Inform 6
compiler, then? I leave it to your judgement; if you think so, please
file a bug report with the developer of that code base to include
those files in the source release.
