This is the point: they create it from other (source) data. Therefore, the file on the ftp server ftp.atnf.csiro.au is not a source, but contains generated data.
Debian policy requires that we create our files from source. This is also for transparency, so if you (as maintainer/uploader) are not available anymore, someone else should be able to download the latest sources, run "debuild" and get an updated package.
What difficulties would you expect if you would, instead of running "measures_data.csh" manually to create an updated package, do this inside debian/rules? The individual data files that are usually downloaded by measures_data.csh would then needed to be declared (and uploaded) as source files of the casacore-data package. As learned from the discussion, the circular build dependency is not a problem for us.
Best regards
Ole
