Cool. Just uploaded after checking. Upload permissions granted in
case further uploads might be necessary.

This is perfectly in line with the request of ftpmaster to keep the
debian/ dir "sensibly" small and I'm pretty sure ftpmaster would have
been rejected the package if the data would have been under debian/
(we had such cases in the past). There are borderline cases where
only a "few" data files are needed but in this case the debian-tests-data
tarball is even an order of magnitude larger than the actual source
package - so this case is pretty clear.
Its actually also not that complicated and documented in Debian Med
policy[4] (thanks to Nilesh).
You probably did not followed all GSoC mails we exchanged with Bilal
but it was one of the first lessons we teached him. ;-)
Kind regards
Andreas.
