It's not just non DFSG-free - it's completely non-distributable. From
the quote in #630897:
"(2) the use of the specifications is for informational purposes and
will not be copied or posted on any network computer or broadcast in any
media"

Yes, please rebuild the .orig tarball to remove the file, note that fact
in debian/{copyright,README.source} and upload new packages targeted at
stable.
Note that your suggested tarball name has the "repacked source"
indicator in the wrong position. The packages should be versioned as
5.7.7+dfsg or similar, so the tarball would be ace_5.7.7
+dfsg.orig.tar.gz.
Does this also affect the ace packages in oldstable?
Regards,
Adam
