That may well be but it does not reflect the reality of ftpmaster's requirements and is not clear to understand given it's emphasis on binary package copyright information. Best example, if I upload a Python package with an empty copyright file it will be rejected, despite consisting only of text files that are verbatim copied into the binary. Or if there's a bunch of Windows-only code in the package that I'm not linking, it might get rejected too because copyright entries are missing. As it stands, the paragraph is completely at odds with reality of what we require and not helpful. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
