I also posted my concerns to the debian-legal mailing list and the
only reponse that I got so far confirms that it is not strictly needed
to recompile a package from source, but does also question how much
sense it makes to package Balder for Debian:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/01/msg00054.html>
I think I will stay with my private packages for the time being, but I
am glad I did at least try and ask. ;)
Cheers,
Fabian
