Bug#242865: The "moreinfo" for these drivers/binary executables



This is the list of files known to be affected by this bug:

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_ucodexch
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/rendition/v10002dxcuc
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/rendition/v20002dxcuc
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/r128_ccexcc
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/radeon_cpxcc
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/mga_ucode.h

These files all contain binary executables (to run on graphics card chips) 
with no source code at all.  Therefore they fail the DFSG's requirements.

Luckily, none of these files are actually *used* in Debian's XFree86 build, so 
removing them from the .tar.gz of Debian's XFree86 source should be an easy 
and trivial solution to this bug for sarge.

(Different copies of the same binaries are present and used in the kernel 
packages, but those are being addressed elsewhere.)

I don't think, therefore, that this bug needs to be tagged "moreinfo" any 
longer...
