compiled binary file in source package



Hi there,

I am maintaining jugglinglab. The upstream source package contains a
compiled binary file. What is the cleanest solution to get rid of it?


Story behind that:

When I started packaging jugglinglab in 2016 I just deleted the file
with a patch.

This is unclean and for example sbuild refuses to build the package,
because it does a dh_clean before which also deletes the binary and then
complains that the patch cannot delete a file that isn't there.

But back then I was in contact with the upstream maintainer and hoping
that he would just delete the file, so I could get rid of that
workaround. But he suddenly stopped answering my emails.

So, after more than a year, I think he won't answer. So I have to come
up with another solution. I just don't have an idea, what is the best
way to do that. Can you help me?

Yours
  David
