Wasn't there some cleanup/checking of that before? I seem to remember
that. Of course, it doesn't work for all the generated sources (svn
snapshots, things with banned code that are "cleaned" with a script,
etc.).
I used to run some scripts to check Sources lines in my spare time.
I haven't had any spare time recently, so I haven't run them. ;)
