The maintainer took a very FOSS approach of "this is better and the tools we use don't support better choices, so you're welcome to fix the tools."
If the binary matched the source code, that argument would hold, but it doesn't, which is sounding alarm bells in my head. Just what is in those 600 kilobytes of machine code?
