That's taking the example from the explanation to be the complete requirement. Also, a PDF is a program for a certain type of interpreter. The "Source missing" entry in the REJECT-FAQ is "Your packages contains files that need source but do not have it. These include PDF and PS files in the documentation." http://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html In the remuco package, the jar's definitely a program anyway.
