I don't have a problem with putting the rebuild instructions in the
source package rather than the binary package.  What I have a problem
with is saying that there's no requirement to provide rebuild
instructions *at all*.

Perhaps we need to agree on a standard location where the rebuild
instructions will go in the source package, update the Web page to
document that location, and put instructions in that location from now
on when building new or upgraded packages.
