The reason for these is gnustep-make's incapable dist rule, combined
with not so careful upstream.

Hmm, but I have not overridden them, I don't feel I should.  I have
informed upstream and I hope it won't happen in subsequent releases.
I'm not cleaning them explicitly either as gnustep-make's distclean
rule does that.  There's little I can do given that the object files
are in the .orig tarball; adding a lintian override won't change that.

Yes and no.  They depend on a test framework that is not packaged for
Debian, so they're unused for the debian package build.

As for the license, debian/copyright is correct.  It is true there are
discrepancies, I'll ask upstream to rectify this.
