 So, as far as I understand we can avoid the need to understand such things
 by just not using minified, compressed, compiled, or bundled, versions of
 anything, unless in the future we discover a compelling need to do so.
 This also lets us avoid Debian's uncertainty about what source code
 ''we're'' shipping, in addition to our uncertainty about what source code
 ''they're'' shipping.
