My understanding (as someone who is not on the ftp-team) is contrary to
that. Rather, a file that is in a non-source form – such as an
obfuscated (minified) JS file – must be removed from the source package.

I'd love to see clarification of the ftp-team's position on obfuscated
files in source packages, preferably in an official location for future
reference.
