I'm not willing to fix this bug *now* for 2 reasons:
1. It's etch-ignore
2. There's much more than these 2 files that are actually non free in
the source tarball, and deeper work needs to be done to actually clean
it up.
See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnuzilla/2006-09/msg00005.html
for an overview.
What I mean here is that considering there's more work than removing 2
files, I don't want to close this issue now while leaving a bunch of
non-free files out there.
Now the question is, do the release managers consider that these others
non-free files in the source tarball grant an etch exception, too.
