I agree. I had to deal with a similar issue (non-freely-redistributable test data), and the only way to handle this "safely" is to create "downstream" tarballs that don't include the affected files. This will make scratch builds break, but you can always turn those off if you're bothered by the error messages (i.e. switch from "Monitoring and Scratch build" to just "Monitoring").
