They should: tables of numbers are not source code, otherwise any blob
could be source code by hexdumping it into a C file. As our project is
Libre software, it must contain its whole source code, and therefore
document where the tables of numbers come from.

I have only realized this recently, and will be careful about it from
now on.

Past wrongs cannot be used as a justification for new wrongs.
