Hi Antoine,

I just discussed this a bit on #debian-mentors in IRC.

Conclusion:

- autogenerated files in the upstream tarball might be okay, if they are
  not used for the binary packages (upgrade.py, install.py) or if they
  are regenerated during build time (qrc_resources.py)

- the details about this should be documented in debian/copyright

- the missing images to generate the qrc_resources.py file can be put
  into debian/missing-sources

- we can discuss this issue again with the upstream author once he has
  recovered

- it is unlikely that there will be a new upstream release
  before this

When we follow this, we don't need to repack the upstream source, just
add the images to debian/missing-sources and document all that in
debian/copyright.

What do you thing about this?

Regards,
Tino
