Lintian tag: source-contains-prebuilt-flash-object

Type: pedantic

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The source tarball contains a prebuilt file in the Shockwave Flash (SWF)
or Flash Video (FLV) format. These are often included by mistake when
developers generate a tarball without cleaning the source directory first.
An exception is simple video files, which are their own source.

If there is no sign this was intended, consider reporting it as an
upstream bug.

If the Flash file is not meant to be modified directly, please make sure
the package includes the source for the file and that the packaging
rebuilds it.
