Hmmmm, to me it does sound uninformed about how blends-dev works. You
can't sensibly use snapshot.debian.org to approach the recreation of the
files in the process they were created. The only thing I could imagine
what Holger might mean is that he intends to fetch the uploaded
debian-edu source files and drain the two files from there. But that's
different to have the two files kept updated in the pre-release cycle
when you are testing the creation of the files and its changes.
I can not tell you how happy I would have been if I would only had the
files kept all the time in Debian Med SVN (which we did not in the
beginning).

IMHO droping the two files is more error prone than keeping them.
Confusion could be solved by documentation.
Kind regards
