The GIMP file data/security.xcf is being deployed (in addition to the proper data/security.png) file. This is a build issue.

It's not a build issue but a licensing issue. We provide you with the source of the image as part of our GPL license.

I understand what you mean. However, even under GPL it is not common practice to ship source materials within the runtime path of the deployment package. Most GPL software will offer the source as a separate download from the runtime (binaries). Alternatively, consider a license/ path within the dokuwiki package, which includes auxiliary source items that are not needed by the runtime.
I like to keep my source files away from my runtime system, but I understand that line is blurred with interpreted applications (PHP), since the source _is_ the runtime.
I'm a big fan of DokuWiki. Thanks for your quick response.

Also, in this case it's a bit stupid to ship the source, as the source is not actually very difficult to make. ;-) No-one in their right mind would think the authorship was unclear and important to resolve. It might make sense to state the source of the warning sign, though. But I always wondered why that file is in there anyway. We're not shipping the source of many other images...
