Is this exception request again for a version of the package that is still missing source that is being processed upstream with Jison? Namely: https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/blob/v1.3.0/src/handlebars.l as mentioned in #830987, which you closed with the move to non-free, but which would need to be reopened if the package moved back to main. I note that you have resolutely ignored questions about the issue of this missing source since July, no matter whether asked in various bug reports, or on the lists, or directly by members of the technical committee when the subject was before us. I would suggest that it would be reasonable for the Release Managers to refuse any exception until a sensible answer is provided.
