They are already removed from the latest source package.
The question is if we want to go through the bother of removing them
from *old* source packages, which would be a lot of work, for dubious
benefit. I certainly have no objections: please feel free to take the
appropriate actions, which I imagine involves regenerating tarballs,
with appropriately twiddled version designators, rebuilding in ancient
environments, for dozens of architectures, notifying various
administrators of parts of debian including not just ftpmasters but
also snapshot and probably others, and trying to get derived
distributions to do the same.
An intermediate approach would be do just include this removal in the
next stable point release.
