Don't tell me that I have to ask upstream to make a special tarball for me with these included because the guidelines say so? About the explicit saying that mp3 and ogg files are not acceptable, I believe this is to discourage people from packaging stand alone collections of music and is not a hard forbidden item, otherwise monkey-bubble and gcompris would have to have all their ogg's removed leaving them severely crippled.
