Debian enquiry about data files in munsell

[Faheem Mitha <faheem@faheem.info>]

Hi,

I've been (sort of) deputized by the Debian Med team, who are trying to 
get munsell into Debian as r-cran-munsell. But they have hit a bit of a 
hitch. The FTPmasters, who are Debian's gatekeepers, are wondering about 
the data files in munsell.

You ship the file R/sysdata.rda which can be created from the text file 
inst/raw/real.dat using inst/raw/getmunsellmap.R.

So, Debian wants to know where this data table inst/raw/real.dat comes 
from, how it was created, and what the preferred way to modify it is.

There are a couple of issues here. First, I think it is simply a question 
of what the license for inst/raw/real.dat is. Secondly, Debian policy says 
that source files should be shipped in the preferred form for 
modification.

But if necessary Charles or one of the other Debian Med people can 
clarify.

                                                           Regards, Faheem
