I might have forgotten some important parts, or I missed the
announcements when I was inactive for a while. But I am confused by
these 2 statements, and would love to get some pointers to learn more:

I had always understood that rebuilding from source was a hard
requirement. Is this not the case any more?

I don't think that shipping a binary compiled upstream should be
allowed, so where's the line drawn?

I have never heard of debian/missing-sources. What is the
policy/documentation regarding this? I have repackaged tarballs many
times to add missing sources, I did not think there was another way to
do it!


Thanks.
