There seems to be some contradiction.
Your post in the link says that this program is needed to do/fix something.
The Makefile says that this program is never needed and can be dangerous.
Of course, I am able to extract and run the program, it's no problem for me.
But I think that the contradiction needs to be cleared for the benefit of other users.
