In lintian-overrides you say:
https://salsa.debian.org/ceph-team/ceph/-/blob/debian/16.2.10+ds-2/debian/source/lintian-overrides#L7
# pybind js source is in src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/src
ceph source: source-is-missing src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/dist/*.js

However this is not true. The ceph dashboard is a modern javascript project,
and uses the angular framework.

Ceph upstream distributes the prebuilt js files in
src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/dist/*.js

First, this is already problematic, since you are expected to build it from
source. But it may not violate the policy.

Then the source is not only src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/src, you need
all sources of build-dependencies, which are listed at
https://salsa.debian.org/ceph-team/ceph/-/blob/debian/16.2.10+ds-2/src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/package.json
See dependencies and devDependenciessources in the package.json file.
These are not included in the ceph source package.

Modern javascript projects currently are difficult to build in Debian...
The only _clean_ solution I can think of is to drop ceph-mgr-dashboard
from Debian... But probably there are workarounds to conform our policy.

I'm surprised to see my bug is downgraded to wishlist without any comment.

zigo, please explain why you think this is appreciated.
