Bug#408500: debian-policy: Section 2.2.1: add package must be rebuilt from source



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.2
Severity: wishlist

A few packages in the archive are providing sources, but the .deb
packages are not rebuild from those sources. That is allowed as there
is nothing in the DFSG nor in the debian-policy that prevents a binary
package to not be built from the accompanied sources.

I think this should be forbidden for packages in main. This could be
added in section 2.2.1.
