Is the source included for those DLLS? If so, I'm not convinced you
need to DFSG repack, but someone else can chime in. I don't think just
because upstream uses krufty practices that it should be repacked.
Now, if it had a nonfree issue, and while you're in there you cleaned
it up, I'm sure that'd be fine.
Again, perhaps a DD can chime in. Was the source included for the DLLs?

Yeah, you do. Lintian should complain if it's wrong. Take a look at
the source to Fluxbox, we have a dfsg repack in place. Here's a
snippit for you:
fluxbox (1.3.1~dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=low

Are they DFSG? Why repack if it's already DFSG?
