If an earlier version was okayed by Crosswire to be put in the public domain, and to be distributed in Debian, even if later on Crosswire removed that earlier version from their repository, it looks to me that Debian can continue to distribute that earlier version.

As already mentioned, the Debian package is flawed in every released version. It was never put in the public domain from what I can see but is freely redistributable (not including edited versions).

If we want to keep a KJV module in main, we can replace the KJV with ebible's KJVCPB module, which comes with source. Then we have to think about the version number. We can also move kjv to non-free and introduce a new package sword-text-kjvcpb, which would not make it into bullseye obviously.
