I also think the solution to correct copyright/license meta-data for binary packages completely relies on building from source (see my other mail in this thread). > Now we're two, but that's still not project consensus as can be seen in > e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=830978#185.
