Is it tolerated to have compiled libraries in a package?



Hi,

the new version of FreeMind is coming with a whole lot of pre-compiled libraries (jar files to be precise). Some of these libraries already exist in Debian, so fine; one isn't free but I can do without, so acceptable (it's the online help, so it's not so nice, but well); and three are not (yet) packaged in Debian, so what?

I already placed 3 RFPs on wnpp:
Bug#296117: Acknowledgement (RFP: libjaxme-java -- open source implementation of JAXB, the specification for Java/XML binding Bug#296118: Acknowledgement (RFP: libjcalendar-java -- Java date chooser bean for graphically picking a date Bug#296643: Acknowledgement (RFP: libxsdlib-java -- Sun XML Datatypes Library)

Is it acceptable to keep the pre-compiled libraries as part of the freemind package until someone creates these packages? (sorry, I don't have the bandwidth to package them myself)

Thanks, Eric
