Erm. Was not the original intent to wait for the upstream clarification
of the license of this data? And what about mention in debian/copyright?
If the ftpmaster reviews were properly done for every upload, this
upload should be rejected, IMHO.

To me this looks like an intricate evasion of unclear policy
requirements. 26 MB of uncompressed textual data is "sensibly" small to
me. Are there any actual guidelines from ftpmaster on what is not
"sensible"?

If they were exchanged in debian-med@, I clearly missed them.
