I'm in full agreement with your petition, Michael. I was disappointed in the score that got on the soundtrack, or, more appropriately, what didn't get on. Lots of thematic references were left off, along with some of the best action music. Actually, I think that both the "Jack" and "Kracken" suites contain some of the action music from the film, or at least an adapted version of that music. (Especially true of the Kracken suite.)

Still, I really would like the first part of the music for the three-way duel ("Wheel of Fortune" is just the second part) and also for the use of the "He's a Pirate" theme near the end of the film. (The part when Jack comes, and they play the theme a lot faster.)

About source cues... "Two Hornpipes" is definitely a source cue, though I believe that the first part of "Dinner is Served" could both be considered either way. And as much as I love the waltz at the end of the latter track, I would give it up just to hear one full quote of the "He's a Pirate" theme.
