It's not just non DFSG-free - it's completely non-distributable.

Yes, please rebuild the .orig tarball to remove the file, note that fact in debian/{copyright,README.source} and upload new packages targeted at stable. Note that your suggested tarball name has the "repacked source" indicator in the wrong position. The packages should be versioned as 5.7.7+dfsg or similar, so the tarball would be ace_5.7.7 +dfsg.orig.tar.gz. Does this also affect the ace packages in oldstable?
