That sounds like a reasonable suggestion: how can I still ship it in the binary package? I guess I should add a debian/apt-listbugs.docs file having "README.md" as its only line. Is that right? Or maybe I should split debian/README.Debian into a general README.md and some more specialized doc/*.md documents (and list all of them in debian/apt-listbugs.docs)... > > Also, having some LICENSE file in ./ instead of relying on > debian/copyright would give that URI more an image of a "homepage" of > a native tool rather than a second Vcs-Browse of some packaging. I had thought about doing so, but I could not figure out how to handle the situation: what information should the LICENSE file contain? Pretty the same as debian/copyright, I guess. If this is indeed the case, then I would rather avoid keeping them consistent (or even identical by copying one into the other) by hand. But I have to keep debian/copyright in the source package, in order to comply with Debian Policy (at least, it seems to me that there is a "should" rule in [Policy 12.5]). At the same time, the LICENSE file should committed to the git repository (otherwise Salsa will not see it...). Hence, neither file can be generated at build time by copying from the other. Do you have a good solution for this impasse?!?

Yes, I have considered applying for the DM status. I just need to make up my mind, so thank you for encouraging me! ;-p -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
