Hi Manuel, I reformatted to below and no 'lintian' issues. Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Upstream-Name: ventoy Upstream-Contact: The Ventoy Authors <ad...@ventoy.net> Source: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy https://www.ventoy.net Disclaimer: THIS PACKAGE IS PLACED IN THE NON-FREE SECTION OF DEBIAN DUE TO THE INCLUSION OF PRECOMPILED BINARY FILES WITHOUT THE CORRESPONDING SOURCE CODE. THESE FILES ARE NECESSARY FOR THE FUNCTIONALITY OF VENTOY, BUT THEY CANNOT BE REBUILT FROM SOURCE. THE UPSTREAM AUTHORS HAVE NOT PROVIDED THE SOURCE OR BUILD PROCESS FOR THESE BINARIES. AS A RESULT, VENTOY CANNOT BE PART OF THE MAIN DEBIAN ARCHIVE.
