Hello Release team, while working on adopting my first package (fluidsynth), non-DFSG files were discovered in all releases of fluidsynth, both unstable, testing, stable and oldstable. (bug: #524566) The non-DFSG files is a soundfont and some documentation, and is only included in the upstream tarball, so no binary packages are affected. I could use some advice on how to proceed, and possibly some assistance as well.
I would propose to fix it first in unstable (by repacking upstream tarball by removing the files an recreating the tarball and using another upstream version in debian/changelog like adding .dfsg.1). If that worked out ok, feel free to do similar things for the version in stable and oldstable.
